Re: brake fluid that won't eat paint???

Two things to be aware of-

1-If you are switching between glycol and silicone, you must flush the entire system before switching, the two don't mix.
2-Silicone fluid is very difficult to bleed. Tiny air bubbles tend to stay suspended, so you will have a difficult time ever getting a hard pedal.

Silicone fluid is fantastic for concours restoration jobs because it's paint friendly and those cars don't get driven hard. For daily driving or racing it will be a problem.
