No. The more exposed area of SS, the higher is the current density, leading to higher risk of galvanic corrosion on the aluminum. In saline environment SS is as bad as copper regarding galvanic corrosion, and all of it should be coated. The kind of coating doesn't really matter as long as it sticks and is an electric insulator, because all you want to do is to reduce the exposed area to a minimum (there is no need for corrosion protection of the SS).So by that logic, I'm thinking mask off the firewall with exception of the aluminum contact points, and shoot a good primer, correct?
