Topic: Painting the master cylinder

[Powderman]

I am guessing that Chewie asked about clear coat because the original finish was much shinier than that...I am not knocking your powdercoat, it looks great, exactly like what is usually seen from anodyzing

I was thinking for added protection against drips. 

The clears are the same make up as the color powders without the color pigments so it's not needed for brake fluid resistance.

The anodize was completely faded when I got it so had no reference on what was original. He picked the color and gloss level. I would use something different for restoration, usually a 55% Paccar Black.

That's the thing...unfaded original master cylinders and controls are nearly unheard of these days.  I didn't even realize they were supposed to be black until I joined this forum.

Thanks for the clarification powderman.  On p365 I remember reading threads about using clear for extra protection, but if it is not needed for this application I will not worry about it.

What about the caliper?  Tuscan black as well?

Woozers!  That came out fantastic.  I like it alot.

That's the POR-15 Blackcote. Comes in a spray can and is tough as nails when cured.

The decal for the cap came with the "Warning Kit" from CB Decals.com

Which POR is it. I went on the POR website and it was the clear as to which Blackote paint was what you used.

Sorry... haven't been to the POR-15 site for a while; looks like they've made some product changes. What used to be two separate products (BlackCote and Chassis Coat) have been bundled together and are now called "TOP COAT".  Once there, there's a drop-down chit for color choices, so what was once "BlackCote" is now simply "Gloss Black", while "Chassis Coat" has become "Chassis Black"; and they've added choices for silver and clear, as well. Same stuff, different package. It ain't cheap, but damn! if it isn't worth every penny!

Sorry about the confusion. My bad.

Not at all. Thanks for taking time to look things up.
