We are getting ready to go to power brakes on our '69 and I wanted to try and find out something before we get to far into the installation. What is a recomended paint for the master cylinder. I am looking for something that will mainly just keep the thing looking good and hold up to the occasional spill or leak.

I use primer and cast iron colored paint from the resto-suppliers. I've tried "rebuild cast" paint from a local parts house but is looked a little dead compared to the resto paints.
I don't think they'll hold up to too much brake fluid since brake fluid is a good paint remover. So you'll still have to be careful when filling.
