Paint Touch-Up
On painted starters, paint is applied to the starter after
assembly. Many of the procedures in this section involve dis-
assembly of several painted joints. When servicing the starter,
paint damage or flaking may occur in the area of these joints.
Any damaged paint should be touched up after assembly prior
to installation using the appropriate touch up paint. Follow the
directions provided with the paint. Paint flaking does not require
the starter to be replaced.
