Painted alternator cover?

Nice looking engine bay! Worst-case, if you can't find the painted version your looking for, have a powder-coating or paint shop finish a stainless version for you.
I've never been a fan of component covers - vendors have been offering multiple covers for individual components to the point that, if one were to install all available, it would look a random patchwork of covers. On my other Vette, I pulled the factory fuel rail covers and finished off some of the cast components to give the engine bay a more purposeful, minimized look rather than trying to cover all the ugly factor pieces. Some pieces I polished or purchased polished versions, such as the valve covers, and some I powder-coated.
Example - I sand-blasted and sanded several pieces down and then had them powder-coated. It was a bit of work but gave me a more finished look without covers.

Not Painted but of all I have seen, thought this is one I might get after other more important mods.
