Johnny4428:
To paint or not to paint? I know these were not originally painted, don’t know what type of coating they had, but was thinking of painting in a satin finish, or just leave in it’s faded state. Already fitted new seal kit.

SumpMagnet:
I went through the same dilemma.

I opted to paint...but the risk then, of course, is getting brake fluid on the paint, as it will likely do a good job of taking it off.

Bryanj:
Originally anodised

Johnny4428:
Thanks guys, next question is this being quite a simple brake system will it work with Dot5 silicon based brake fluid, don’t think it has the paint stripping qualities.

Bryanj:
It will if you have replaced all the seals and cleaned out all the pipework, reservoirs etc.
I have been told that whilst dot5 dont absorb water it does boil at a lower temp, never tried it so cant confirm that
