Anyone using an aluminum brake m/c?

Currently I have a cast iron Corvette/Chevelle unit that does its' thing well. I like it better than the boxy unit that came from the factory. But, being that it's cast iron, it loses its' nice cast color and slowly turns to oxide red, and when I open the hood to show off the 5.3L, the first thing you see is the rusting M/C. I don't want to paint the M/C, because when fluid gets under the paint and starts to "lift" it , it's ugly. I'm a little leery about powder coating, afraid that maybe some sand would get into something (sandblasting, part of the pre-coat process). BTW, my truck is an '80, so it isn't equipped with the QTU system

It's not like my truck is a show piece. It ain't. It's just a "driver". I just want it to be neat and clean

Speedway Motors has an aluminum Corvette style master cylinder that might work.
