painting booster and master cyl

[cheyenne10]

Is there any good recommendations for painting brake booster and master cyl lid back to gold cad look? How about a good metal looking finish for master cyl that might stand up to small amounts of brake fluid? I hate new master cylinders that rust soon afterwards.

I painted my MC with cast blast by duplicolor and cleared it,avoided the rust issue by using synthetic fluid in the system. I figure sinceit was gound -up rebody resto, and I knew it would sit more than it was driven, this ould be the way to go, and for oncein my lif I was correct, go figure. The Eastwood golden cad paint works okay. I used it on my booster and it turned out. The new system is better than the old system. In retrospect, I should have sent it out to be replated, the paint does not look quite like the true plating but beats painting it flat black. You could consider painting booster body color with the MC in cast as a contrast.
