  Wouldn't painting your steel lines before you install them be better ?

I side with John here--I still hear little voices in my head and in my reading
both online and elsewhere that copper is not the way to go--Gas OR Brake
lines.  I was thinking they were either illegal or not SCCA approved, or not
blessed by the Pope, or something.  But they ARE pretty and easy to bend and
work with, which may be the appeal.  Seems like if rust is a worry a good coat
of an epoxy paint would eliminate that worry, as John has suggested.  Again,
there are many of you who know far more about this than me and I am a great
listener and learner, but that is my 0.01254452 (note quite .02)
