brake lines

[jackie]

after painting engine compartment white, instead or black, now i have to be picky on all of the other parts. before just paint everything black. i spent couple of hours cleaning,scraping, sanding, brushing off my brake lines. now they look good,back to metal. now my question is, what do i do with them now? what do you finish them with?

[Chryco Psycho]

originally the lines were galvanized & were left natural

[jackie]

how about the ones with springs around them? was the springs galv. also? if not what color where the springs?

[Chryco Psycho]

still left natural

[jackie]

thanks, looks like i can put them back on now.

You could always paint the lines a silver color the same as what the natural color to prolong the rust look coming back. Using a wire brush on the spring coiled sections would help in clean up.
