According to Delco Moraine paperwork, part of the assembly procedure for master cylinders is to paint them semi-gloss black. I think it's either the 7th step or the 17th step (can't remember) in the assembly. I once posted the sheet which showed it. It's over somewhere in my You Can't Make This Stuff Up! thread. Probably within the first 100 pages. It's orangish yellow so if you want to find it you can scan quickly. I believe (?) it started with the 1967 models when they changed to the dual master cylinder.
