    I have a new CPP mastercylinder and booster. It is yellow zinc coated much like grade 8 bolts.

    CAN YOU PAINT RIGHT OVER IT? For more protection or will the paint come off?

    I know a lot of primers use zinc just never painted over anything like this that needed to actually look good and last.
