Bad idea. You need a very clean joint to braze properly. Leaving the paint or any other crap on there is just asking for trouble. Really, it only takes about 10 seconds to sand a joint. Not a big deal if you ask me.

6" bench grinder, wire wheel.... takes about 2 seconds to clean a joint.

If you are taking the time to build a chassis, why not take some extra time to make it correct?

Just chuck the brake line up in your drill before you bend it and sand off the galvanized coating with emory cloth. And yes, stanless is un-coated and has no toxic fumes. Done properly you can even implant stainless in the body.

That's why I hang around here. Simple solutions to what I think are hard problems. Thanks, I owe you a beer or something.
