Re: 2 paint or not 2 paint
I'd leave them bare unless your using some sort of brake fluid resistant paint. If you ever have to disconnect them, fluid will get on them near the fitting and lift the paint off.

I'd paint them. I did my whole truck in stainless. Got tired of rolling around in the mud, blood and beer replacing them, jim
