Painted Alternator and Bracket
I saw a post with a picture of a engine bay that had a painted (gray) alternator and an cross flag emblem inlay with the alternator bracket machined to remove material and painted as well.
Looking for the OP so I can contact them about the details of how they did it or who did the work.
Did a search just cant find it.

Sounds like my stuff
I did some machining on the alternator bracket and CNC'd an emblem pocket in the alternator housing for an 08+ wheel emblem.
Paint is Dupli-Color engine enamel spray paint, color is "cast coat"

Gotcha, your engine bay looks great. Did you dismantle/disassemble the alternator for painting? If so, are special tools required for this project? Where did you find your fuel rails and fuel rail pressure gauge? I love what you have done to your engine bay!

The fuel rails are Aeromotive. I had to adapt their LS7 rails, they didn't have an LS3 set at the time...they do now though
I got all the braided line, fittings and gauge from Summit Racing

This is it !
Thanks Gotcha, this is it.
Would you consider doing the alternator bracket and alternator mods again. I would send my stuff to you for CNC and paint.
What would you charge?
