Says use hammerite to paint the alternator, but are they not zinc/ally? Surely the paint wouldn't stick/bond properly?? Same applies for clutch etc....?
Thanks, i've got the high temp paint to do the block but its still hot!

As said, VHT paint but best to give it a scrub with a wire brush first as ally weathers very quickly.
