Painting stainless?

How well can stainless be painted (or even powder coated)?

I'd like to paint my stainless MK grille black to match my black/yellow colour scheme.

Any pointers?

Im no expert but id assume normal painting rules apply. If it was me id start with an etch primer first (ive bought some in aerosols before).

Apply a epoxy based paint and it will stay there for the next 10 years

Stainless can be prepped and painted in exactly the same way as carbon steel

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.
