I have searched this and other forums for a guide to polishing, painting or electroplating engine parts. Does any one know of a good guide or could some of the experienced forum members draw up a list?
From my reading and discussion with various people I have concluded that the standard metalic master cylinders should not be painted, can be polished and can be zinc-plated. The brake fluid tarnishes the paint and polish, which makes zinc-plating the most durable option. Chrome-plating is often not successful due to all the hooks and crannies that cannot be covered sufficiently. Is this correct?
