been using silicon numerous years on numerous cars. doesn't absorb water
(is not hygroscopic) and doesn't mess with paint. gotta be a little more
careful when filling and bleeding (use speed bleeders!!). I don't know why
anyone would use dot 3/4 and risk paint damage and have to bleed every year
or two.
I bought a master a couple years ago and saw that warning. talked to a
contact at moss, and he said the problem was that people were not full
cleaning out their brake systems, mixing dot 3/4/5 and getting into trouble.
so that's why the disclaimer/warranty issue. he said there is no reason
whatsoever not to use silicone on the new brake cylinders.
