Was thinking of doing the same, partly for the same reason. Haven't looked too much into it yet, but having painted other metal objects I like VHT paint which is meant for engines, exhaust, brakes - hot metal stuff.

Recently did my brakes and basically just used a stainless steel brush and brake cleaner over and over until minimal dirt came off after whipping with a white towel/rag, then hit them with VHT primer/paint/clear. For polished stainless I imagine there'd be more effort involved such as sanding with a fairly coarse sand paper.

In my experiences painting things (metal, plastic), at the end of the day, as long as the surface is clean, oil/grease-free and rough the paint will stick.
