Default What brake fluid?

Typical setup. Brand new, dry system.

69 camaro
6 piston wilwood front
4 piston wilwood rear
Hydro boost from hydratech
Wilwood master cylinder
3/16 front lines to 3an flex
1/4 rear line to distribution block to 3/16 hard lines to 3an flex

I really prefer something that is paint and powder coat safe. Thanks.

It looks like you're familure with wilwood products.
Have you looked at their line of brake fluids ? They have a silicone fluid that you might safely spill on some finishes.

I'm assuming that it's probably not paint safe, since I couldn't find that info during search.

It'll take the paint right off! LOL


Wilwood makes some high quality, high temp brake fluids too...

I will continue searching, wilwood shows a dot 5 that is paint safe. From what i have read, dot 5 is not a good choice.
