if you have not purchased them then get stainless steel lines it is worth the extra bucks. If you have purchased them paint them with clear wheel paint so you can see any underlying corrosion in the future. The best thing to do is pressure wash the underside of a car every chance you get to remove road salt, especially from the lines where they mount or connect.

Thank you. I have steel lines with some kind of protective coat, but don't really trust it. I'll definitely consider your advice.

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

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

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.

Is this a joke?

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.
