Default braided steel brake lines

is there a kit for braided steel brake lines for an 85? if so, who's done it and how hard is it and how much is it? i think i have to replace my MC, and i want to paint my calipers, so i figure that while i have the system open i would do a little bit of upgrading too....TIA

http://www.raceshopper.com/russell_brake_lines.shtml. I did a quick search and found several. This site looked OK.

I'm also using the Goodrich branded ones on my '94 and they fit great. I got mine from the Tire Rack.
