Brake fluid-proof paint?

I'm replacing my master cylinder and want to keep the new one looking new. I was thinking about painting it with Eastwood Factory Gray Hi-Temp Coating that I have on hand as it matches the bare cast iron color pretty nicely. Or maybe there is a clear coat that would hold up? (That might be handy protecting the shiny lid as well.) I'm obviously looking for something that will hold up to brake fluid contact.

Anyone have any experience/suggestions?

Thanks,

S.

Powdercoating is the way to go......... virtually impossible to get it off....... guy in my car club has his own powdercoating setup and he did a bunch of my parts. I can get you his email if you are interested.

You can get a small kit from Eastwood. There are lots of youtube videos about building one for larger parts
