While changing my generator cover I nicked off some of the coating on the stator and the copper is showing how can I repair this?

You can also use liquid tape that is sold in auto parts stores...works great..My Ducati 999 had a leak that was coming from the stator through the windings of the wire to the plug and dripping in my belly pan...I cleaned the area of bare copper wire with brake cleaner, applied the liquid tape and let it dry....no more leak.
The stuff that vtjballeng recommended looks like a great product...the liquid tape might be found locally.

Both liquid tape and the product I mention require cleaning of the "wound" as it were. Then they require workmanship in re-coating and sometimes multiple coats. The Liquid tape has roughly half the electrical coating property at 1400V/mil vs 3000V/mil for the product I pointed out which is made for use on stators. This is a voltage handling capability vs. thickness. Also, note on the liquid tape info the following mention limited petroleum resistance.

[pre]Chemical resistance:
acids, alkalines, pollutants - excellent
petroleums - limited[/pre]

This may not be ideal in a hot petroleum environment. Also the resistance is typically reduced in a wet environment. Other manufacturers make similar products but usually for production use and not in small containers.

Great comparison! Thanks.
