Brake master Cylinder painting

Agree with JamesH Ken that finish looks awesome and price is good too. Please share
From what I remember from the Sandcastonly site, for original finish, you need to find an anodizer who does anodizing using chromate process rather than sulphuric acid based.
A quick dip in strong and hot caustic soda removes the old anodizing in seconds BTW.
I have had decent results using a combination of methods described by ChrisR /John Wyatt and UK Pete. Strip old anodizing using hot caustic soda. Paint with Klostermanns black acid-etch primer then finish with PJ1 satin black. Then bake at 155 Deg C for about an hour and finally buff with a bit of Solvol Autosol on a soft cloth. Pretty durable but doubtless not totally brake fluid resistant but great if you are using the silicone based brake fluids or minimize exposure to the conventional brake fluid.

Thought I'd mentioned where the ceramic coating was done, it's Camcoat in Warrington. https://www.camcoat.com/
If you want the same finishes as I've had done the gold is CG-Gold/HHC, the Cermakrome is MCX/Burnish/polish and the black is BHK: 1-coat. I've had some silver done as well but don't know the code for that until the new receipt gets issued. Prices I quoted did not inc VAT, so £12 for body and £6 for lid.
Didn't realise there was another process for anodising Ash, Camcoat do a really nice finish called DiamonDyze which is supposed to be the dogs danglies. I'm toying with the idea of having some pistons done in it, if the alloy is ok of course.
On their Instagram page is a picture of my CB1300 wheels I had done in gold the other week.

Thanks for sharing Ken - I’ll get in touch with them as I’ve got a few bits to do.

Mention my name James as he seemed happy for the referrals he’s been getting. Also if the bits are on my price list I posted mention that as well so you get the same prices. He may charge more if the parts aren’t as clean and presentable as mine usually are. Or he may not, never really asked.

That’s great thanks Ken. Stupid question - what prep do you do before sending parts to him? Do you manually strip the existing paint with your dremel brushes?
