I go along the previous comments. I little white "fuzz" on the surface is not serious, though it looks tacky. I like Boeshield T9, though any light corrosion spray such as LPS-1 or 2 or even WD-40 is better than nothing. Just wipe it down once and a while when you do your periodic inspections, and put a little on the power terminals too while you're at it.
Someone was talking about heating the engine compartment with a light bulb or something. I've always though it would be a good idea to mount a resistive heater of some kind on the mount structure to keep it warm when the charger is plugged in. Something like this would work:

This example would do 26 Watts at 115VAC and is almost bullet proof.

There is no real significant loss of efficiency with the oxidizing. You can try cleaning and light oiling to reduce the oxidizing. Keep the compartment as dry as possible.

Does anyone have an opinion about this? And if I should paint it would I then take off the casing and paint it inside and out (the casing not the coil etc)?
