I have been in the process of doing a 3g conversion on my mustang and today i was looking at my alternator and thought to myself i want to powder coat the casings of the alternator.
I was thinking bright red because my car is red and coat the radiator brackets gloss black.
What do you guys think???
Thanks for the input in advance.

Na makes it look cheap & hacked up..like when you see someone selling a fox with "rebuilt engine. 306 hella mods" and all its is a stock engine with stock parts.. silver or black would be my choice

anything else in the engine bay painted red? I think as long as its "flowing" with other red pieces and not a bunch of different color reds it should look fine..Just my opinion

Another consideration. If you're planning on someday adding a blower, then no one will even be able to see the alternator...

Depending on the style of blower you may see it

I do plan on someday to put a blower on it, but who knows when i will be able to do that.
I will probably go gloss black because I plan on coating my intake, when i get the one i want, gloss black as well, and i wouldnt want my alternator casings red when everything else is gloss black.
@ed650 Do you really think it will make it look cheap?

Maybe this will help you see better: "hey guys you have to check out my 3G alternator, I painted it red to match my car, it's badass huh?"
Underhood should be black or chrome/polished anything else is tacky.

I would honestly leave it alone. Whenever I see pics of an engine bay with painted parts in it I quickly exit out of the page. Ghetto.

Hmmm maybe i will go gloss black and if i don't like it i will just take if off. Im powdercoating it myself so i won't be out much, just material.
Thank you,
Charles
