whats the best method of painting stainless steel?

[Harry Cleary]

I would presume you would need an ‘etch primer’ available from car body shops, make sure to check that your final paint is compatible.
Hope this helps

Thank you Harry. I will investigate.

I assume you mean to fill the etched area?

I have sprayed them before, using car spray cans, before removing the vinyl mask.

To paint brushed stainless steel you need to apply an etch primer to metal that’s degreased with meth’s and slightly warm (not cold).

After the primer has dried, check adhesion by sticking masking tape to the surface and ripping off.

If the primer doesn’t come off you’ve proved the primer has bonded successfully, then you’re ready to spray your next colour or base primer.
