Replaced most of the rear brake lines with SS last year. Car spends most of its time in a garage, and never goes to the ocean. Should I have coated the ends, that's a good bit of money to be that rusty.

Well, the manufacturer should have done their homework. The plating is incorrect. It looks correct but should have been cad plated. As noted zinc is a sacrificial coating, you can't get Hex (at least in the US), but these didn't come from the US, but were made as cheaply as possible, Yes they may have looked pretty when they went on, but when a manufacturer doesn't know what they are doing they get a name for themselves.... you know who you are.
