Not affected by DOT 3

[Felix Benet]

Is there a paint on the market that could resist the spill of DOT 3 brake fluid?

The only possibility I can think of is Imron as I think it's a catalyzed epoxy, But it tough on the lungs to spray at home. Best left to pros.

Really high quality Epoxy Paint MIGHT work, best bet is to just use DOT 5, and not worry about it!

I want to paint the master cyl on the car and not worry about fluid dribbling down the sides and melting the paint:-( I never intend to utilize DOT5.....

Maybe Imron would be best,I'm thinking it's a poly urethane.or how would it be if you had it powder coated"though i guess you'd have to remove it from the car"

We use Dot 5.1. It is a polymer glycol base and does not affect paint.

DOT 5.1 NON-SILICONE BASE suitable for up-grade from DOT 3 or DOT 4.

Fully compatible and miscible with Conventional Brake Fluids.
