Use epoxy and make sure it's fully cured before adding fluid, OR use powder coat, OR Eastwood company has some brake fluid resistant grey paint that works, though the color varies a bit from batch to batch, and it's more silvery-grey. POR15 also is fairly resistant to fluid. Unfortunately, NONE of them are completely resistant to DOT3 and DOT4 brake fluid. If the fluid stays on long enough, the painted coating WILL lift off.

The only thing I can recommend is any of the above, combined with fresh seals and not letting any leak sit on it more than a few hours before cleaning it off. In 16 years of hot rod shows and custom car builds, that's the best I could hear people talk about. :(

Here's a link to the Eastwood stuff…

As you can see, most of the paints say fluid "resistant" and not fluid "proof".
