Funny:
Years ago (late =E2=80=9870s) my crew chief bought a bug eye painted with Im=
ron. He wanted to change the color, but sanding the Imron proved tough going=
. So we used Castrol LMA brake fluid to slightly soften and roughen up the p=
aint. It took off the gloss and provided a nice surface for bonding the prim=
er. In due time the car was sold, but it was seen again two + decades later w=
ith the same paint job... Triumph Signal Red.
So maybe Imron won=E2=80=99t resist brake fluid as well as you would like...=
