Thanks Bill. I was more concerned about what type of finish is currently on the master cylinder as it relates to determining the best way to recoat it. I am worried about adhesion since it is so glossy, and even more so if it were an epoxy type paint like POR-15. However, after poking around tonight I find that the existing paint is already crinkling and lifting around the top from the brake fluid. Looks like I will need to figure a way to get the existing paint stripped off. With respect to recoating it, I know it is a bit hare brained, but I have this evening ordered some stove black that I am going to experiment with. It is basically black pigments and wax. While it isn't permanent, it can be renewed without stripping.
