Master Cylinder Paint

[Don Z.]

In searching the archives there were several recommendations to paint the master cylinder ( '66 with power) with VHT Brake Rotor & Caliper Satin Black Paint. Reason was that it was a little more receptive to brake fluid. I've gone on the VHT website and they have listed 9 auto places to buy. Around this little town in Pa. we have AutoZone, Advanced and NAPA, of which none even show they can get it, yet alone show it. The others listed Strauss, Checker,Schucks,Murrays, O'Reilly and VIP Parts are not even around this area. I know I can use 1613 but it may not hold up as well.
Any suggestion where I can obtain a can or suggestions to another product equal or better than this to paint the master cylinder???

Hi Don,
How are you this afternoon?
I see that Eastwood's new EXTREME Chassis Black spray lists it's resistance to brake fluid as one of attributes. It does come in 'satin', might that work for your master cylinder?

Hi Don,
I found the correct 1800 degree VHT (you will probably want the Semi-Gloss Black) at O'Reilly's. They had to order it from their central warehouse in Springfield, MO.

Also bought their engine orange, shade is spot on.
$12.00 per can, I bought three of each.
