1939 six....master cylinder replacement and other dumb questions

The brakes on the 39 with all lines, wheel cylinders and shoes was done by prior owner. Then the car sat for several decades. I will go back over the system but the master is leaking. Has anyone out there switched to dual master cylinder . Seems possible...unlike the Caribbean.
Any hints welcome.
Second minor issue. I believe the firewall would have originally been done in flat black but I see shots of cars with firewall done to match the body color. If you do the second option would you also paint inner fenders and inside hood the body color?
I am dying the existing vinyl seats( will redo door panels) with product from Rub n restore. Will advise how well it works. The supplier did a test and it looks great.
