Painted gloss black with Rustoleum 7579. This is not a fancy coating, I did effective prep work but the finish is liable to scratch or crack if mishandled. I do not guarantee the paint finish, this is a used part and the paint is to make it "better than it was". Additional hardware needed includes the long bolt/nut that goes through the alternator (11716-53J00 + 08915-3401A + 08911-2401A), the bolts that attach the small bracket on the bottom to the block (2x 08120-8201F) and the 3 bolts that attach the large cast bracket to the block (1x 11717-52F00 + 2x 11916-40F03)
