recently purchased new delco alternators (upgrading from 22SI to 24SI).

the new alternators are silver and wondered if I could paint them Cummins white or would that cause an issue with paint getting on the inside ?

Most get painted so I guess it does not hurt anything. Tony

May I ask why you want it painted? Personally I think they look “cool” unpainted, especially the 24SI
