The other options would be some sort of titanium nitride coated brake pistons like here:

LOVE that you are doing this! |
Coating is VERY thin. Can't measure it on my calipers kind of thin. I have a coating thickness gauge and it meters out at an average of .5 mils. Which is 0.0005" thick.. its seriously thin.
I shot this test piece and sanded it down in different spots along the bottom. Part with 1000 grit, another with 1500, another with 4/0 steel wool, and then left a side alone. Soaked it in brake fluid outside for week to see what would happen. Nothing.. I mean not even a little bit, no color change on a white paper towel wipe etc. Does that change in a couple years? Maybe, but brake fluid seems to do its thing pretty quick.
