Painting SS

Find a local automotive paint supplier.

See if they have something called "Water-Born Barrier Coat" That is what PPG calls it.

It is a water based primer used to paint over existing car finishes. The stuff is simply amazing in how tenacious it is.

It can be used over any plastics, styrofoam, wood, metal, stone, whatever.

Spray a layer of it on and then use any kind of paint you like.

If it is a expensive job call up Trimite in the UK. They sell a Stainless Steel etching primer and paint made for nothing but Stainless Steel. They sell it buy the liter and shipping can be very expensive. Last time we checked the US division did not offer this paint. We had the customer pay for paint and shipping of it. It was going a oil drilling ship so it had to be good and pretty because it was inside the drilling cabin.

You will need a 2 day fast, time in the sweat lodge and much prayer.

Maybe the gods will answer and it will stick..or they and it..wont.

"The importance of morality is that people behave themselves even if nobody's watching. There are not enough cops and laws to replace personal morality as a means to produce a civilized society. Indeed, the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of defense for a civilized society. Unfortunately, too many of us see police, laws and the criminal justice system as society's first line of defense." --Walter Williams

Lots of knowlegable folk here. Many don't bother to reply to those that post HTML to usenet. beside that, your post comes in with little bitty letters as a result.

Scuff it, prime it, paint it.

It's a sin to paint stainless. :)
