I did nothing to the windings; out of fear that since they get hot already... it might be a waste of time painting them.

as you can see in this pic:


the front edge of the windings (which get the bulk of the incoming cool air) stayed copper color; while the back edge of the windings look like they've baked a little... almost blackened. This is an alternator that's only seen 20k miles.

The outside surface of the winding frame... I did paint that satin black.
