Default painting frame with body on?

I have the vette in the air waiting to re-install tranny and also install rack and pinion and VB perform plus kit. I have already used two coats ea. of eastwoods corroless and chassis finish on the cross member. Looks great!! Now I am ready to do the entire frame. I was wondering what the rest of you did about brake and fuel lines? Did you paint over them or what?

I replaced the rubber lines and for the rear replaced with Stainless Steel. For the rest of the frame, I used 000 steel wool where I could reach them to get the rust off. Where the lines ride above and close to the frame, I painted them.

If I ever did a frame-off, I'd replace them all with SS.
