painting a rear master cylinder...thoughts??
i also posted this in the detailing section, but it doesn't seem like people visit as much...so sue me...[8D]
my question is this....the rear master cylinder is bare metal...i understand brake fluid is crazy corrosive....but i am wondering if i can paint the master cylinder...i have done some searching and it seems like you can but have yet to really find anything difinitive as to a yes or no....some say you can powder them....that would be great, but i really don't want to disassemble my master cylinder (i assume you would destroy the seals if you tried to powder it together)....so i guess if i take like engine paint or ceramic paint....you think i could get away with taking it off, plugging all the inlets and painting the thing...if so...what kind of prep should i do to it other than make sure it's clean....
i believe it's bare metal so i don't think i would need to sand it??

i would try to find a spare master cylinder off of the classifieds or ebay and try painting that. if it turns out good then you can sell the one on your bike. thats what i do when i want to experiment.
