Capacitor ?
I just got a 1 farad capacitof from ebay. Except that it is red... and I like blue... I really like blue...

Can I paint it ? Primer, paint and clear coat, etc.

 

Depending on the cap, some get a little hot. So if you do paint it, I would recommend getting high temp paint to be on the safe side. Also, don't paint the posts. You need a good solid conection for the wires to clamp on to when you attach them. Otherwise, have fun and knock yourself out doing it!

 

Yeah i already thought about not painting the post, only the lower part.

Thanks.

 

There should be no problem painting the cap with normal paint.If a capacitor gets hot,it is usually cause there's something wrong with it,or you have it wired wrong.

 

yeah my cap dont get hot

 

If your cap gets hot, you have a serious problem!

Heh. I have a blue stiffening cap, and I wanted red. Ironic, huh?

 

Yeah,and if it gets hot,that's the least of your worries!!! A small electrolytic cap will blow like an M-80.Just imagine the boooom a 1 F cap would make!!

 

You might also want to consider powdercoating it.

But for paint, I'd go with the Metalcast Anodized Paint system by Duplicolor. PERFECT blue... You'd love it.
