If they are copper or aluminum yes. You can paint the steel ones, not sure how much that will really help.

You can get nickel/copper brake lines. Highly corrosion resistant and meets DOT Okay. Its also softer, so easier to bend and place.

If you buy stainless steel you will regret it! Too hard to bend and flare easier to crack than any other type of brake line! Nickel copper lines are the most user-friendly to install! Phish the line through, and gently bend it into place with your hands! Try it you will see! Don't waste your money painting your lines before you bend them! It will chip off!

Most paint will chip off when you bend the brake lines. Maybe a plastic Fusion paint would have some success! Don't use steel brake lines. Get aluminized copper, it's more money, but Bends and flares a whole lot easier. Once you use it you will never put a steel line in again. Plus it never rust.

Stainless is pretty resistant to rusting, so...if you have them made out of that, they will last longer than the vehicle.

No, not a joke. Brake lines are made out of steel, which is vulnerable to rust, and enamel coatings are known to resist water penetration, which can, in turn, prevent rust. What part of my question confuses you?

Stainless steel is hard too bend and flare. Dont waste your time and money! Copper aloy lines. Advance auto has it. About $50 a roll. Easy to bend and flare. I bend it with my thumbs mostly.
