Hey Folks,
I was wondering what coating, if any, do you use on the master cylinder to protect the natural finish. I see Eastwood has something but more like a grey paint. Don't know if that would change the appearance. Thanks!

Eastwood also carries a Satin Clear which will clear-coat the metal but not leave a glossy finish.

Or DOT 4---use DOT 5 only if you want to protect paint the best. Know this, though, DOT 5 does not perform as positively as the 3-4 and is more inclined to draw moisture into the system. This why many restorers use stainless lines when they fill their systems with DOT 5. I have used DOT 5 in my car since I put it on the road in '94 and it has done OK for a limited street driven car.
