In my own fit of Vee-elevenosis Scuratimitis, I'm determined to get the alternator cover in at least one coat of primer today. Stripped with "aircraft" stripper (man, is that stuff potent! My nitrile gloves should have come up the arms further!), cleaned with SuperClean®, sanded with 600grit (and cleaned again).
The lower leading edge is awfully peckered up from these 100,000 miles, but I have the best-damn-primer in the whole-wide world!
Trying to get the part warmed up for a first coat. (barely over 50ºF outside.
FWIW, the stainless fasteners were in good shape showing remnants of copper anti-seize. Threads to the wire wheel and a fresh, liberal coat of grease.
