I have a question about the color of the stator part of the alternator. Should that part be brown color with a clear coat or dark gold with a clear coat? What would be correct? Here is a pic of an alternator with the dark gold on the stator part. Thanks.

I used to sell the thin steel sheet with certain magnetic properties that was stamped and stacked for stators and similar. Nobody paints that stuff with color paint. I believe after units are stacked, the stack is dipped in transparent lacquer or maybe it is shellac. So you are looking at the sheared edges coated with lacquer or shellac that has a natural light yellow-brown tint.

Restoration by Jim Ridge, Dixie Restorations. The front and rear aluminum castings should be coated with yellow Alodine.

So, looks like we are in the ball park . Just need to coat with a tinge of brown and then shellac over that.

What you are seeing is insulating varnish. Common on any stacked electrical core.

Over the years I have seen clear, red and green.

Yes, varnish. The stampings are stacked into units, wired, and lastly coated with insulating varnish. There is no coloration other than the clear insulating varnish in the case of Mopar alternators.

It's about the same look as you'd see on an old doorbell transformer.
