Master cylinder finish

(1/2) > >>

Laverda Dave:
I've just stripped the master cylinder as it was leaking badly.  I even managed to remove the dreaded circlip after a couple of hours with some help from my old mate, Percy Verence  :).
The PO had also painted the cylinder body gloss black, the paint was so thick it was crazing.
I have now stripped the old paint off, I know these were originally annodised(?) a sort of purple colour by Honda.  Does anyone know of a suitable paint I can use to replicate the original finish or better still, reccomend a company who can re-finish the metal? Is re-annodising an option?

K2-K6:
Couple of places with potential to help if they'll look at one off items.

Both look like they can produce a black finish and maybe worth a chat.

Going to a specialist could end up landing you with the most expensive master cyl in the world... have you considered buying a replacement in better condition...? Something like this maybe...

Trigger:
Purple ? Black anodise or strip M/C down, dunk in thinners for a hour, mop, under coat and then a satin top coat  ;)

 Black end up in purple after many years under weather expose... Dont bother to inodize... Do as Trigger suggest. I did the same and looks top. Cheers
