The leaking problem is usually the result of the over tightening of the screws on the cover. If you tighten them too much it squashes the gasket which will then leak. The gasket doesn't take much to deform it and then it leaks.

Because the controls/master cylender are a "matte" black (not gloss but not flat) it can be difficult to match the color.We use this product to match the door posts around glass that are "matte black" on many cars. Heres a product we use in the autobody field that should work and match quite well.

Yay...WYW comes thru again...the other thing to a successful paint job besides materials is Preparation...that master cylinder needs to be cleaned and surface immaculate for the paint to stick.
