<VV> LM Engine Bay detailing

Cast aluminum does not anodize very well. By that I mean that it doesn't look very good after it's done. It tends to splotchy and uneven looking. Parts machined from billet and extrusions look great but castings tend to be more porous which is why I think they don't take to the anodizing process very well.....

Don't believe I've ever seen an anodized alternator -- I've seen them 
polished, chromed, and powder/ceramic coated, but never anodized, new, 
aftermarket, or DIY.  Interesting.

Believe originals are just raw cast aluminum.
