Polished vs Chrome - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NPilot1975 · 12-07-2007, 06:27 PM

I am going to get a new master cylinder and brake booster. I think I am going to go with the CPP MCPV-1 1-18" bore and either a polished stainless steel booster or a chrome booster. I am just looking for opinions. I am leaning towards the polished mc and polished stainless booster.

I've never seen stainless boosters but that would be good for brake fluid resistance. Chrome would look better until it got fluid spilled on it.

flip a coin - they both would look good

cdowns · 12-07-2007, 07:52 PM

yeah both look good until the chrome starts to rust n bubble and peal stainless you might need to polish it every 5years or so

NPilot1975 · 12-08-2007, 06:41 PM

That is exactly why I was thinking of going with the polished stuff.

I like the polished stainless boosters and mc's we sell at work (The Right Stuff Detailing). Both look good IMHO, but I prefer the polished stainless.

Polished S/S would be nice. I'm not over the hill into bling so it would depend on the truck for me to give an opinion.

esll.

Hart_Rob,

How is NM? Saw the pix of the Burb and it is looking good. I will have to definitely see it before you take it to NM.
