Restoring Master Cylinder with gold coating.

[Rally Pack 2000]

With the booster and lines out so I can paint them up as they had never been done before and were looking a bit sad I thought I would take the master cylinder down to the brake place and have a seal kit put through it while it was out. The guy asked me if I wanted to have it anodised the gold colour that they were originally for a few extra bucks so I said sure if it was going to make it look new again. But cast iron cant be anodised? So maybe he just used that term for some other type of coating perhaps? Can they possibly anodise iron now by coating them with something else first? Or are they simply going to recoat it with Zinc Dichromate again which is going to weather quickly like the original? Just curious know what they are going to do with it.

I've had a few things done but not any cast in the gold colour, up to press have stayed quite good a couple of years down the line. But fully expect deteriation as per originals, but can't complain still looks good. For a couple of bucks I wouldn't hesitate and hope it stays for a fair while, nothing to loose really
