I had a set of extractors ceramic coated and they still look great, otherwise POR(?) make an extractor paint, just get the extractors blasted then paint this stuff on. Give us a yell if you want to go this way as I have a 3/4 tin in the garage that should do the job.

Looks sweet as Dave.

If your getting out of the "Tin Can" master cylinders I'm chasing some usable cans. I have a good working clutch master cylinder kicking about.

Regards, Smooth
