Paint for master cylinder

[arsey51]

Rebuilding front master cylinder for my '79. Any suggestions as to which paint to use to get it looking decent. Was thinking of using PJ1 Paint, but open to suggestions from anyone who has done this in the past.



Thanks

I just used Gloss black Rustolium. Looks great even after two years! Of course mine is a '82 and it was gloss black to begin with.

I've just used PJ1 Gloss Black Porcelain Hard Epoxy paint. After a few days dry very hard.

I have painted many bike calipers and master cylinders, and my favorite by far is Duplicolor engine enamel, available at mainly autopart stores. I like the 'fan' nozzle on the can, makes for really nice application, easy to apply w/out runs, and pretty darn durable for the long haul, of course, brake fluid ruins any of them. The black is great, and I used a 'cast iron coat' color on my ninja cause they were dark grey to start with there. I really love that color now, and use it on lots of stuff! As with any paint job, preparation is key. Bead blasted then washed with something like clorox is my method of choice... ... Good luck!---Ed Y.
