Can you pain a stainless steel table base? What is you hate the way it turns out after can it be removed?
I meant what if you hate the way it turns out....
Stainless steel is "stainless" because is contains nickle, a very hard non-corrosive metal, which also gives the steel the silvery color. It can be sanded if you find an abrasive hard enough to roughen the surface. That done, prime the metal with a primer which is the base coat to which the paint will adhere. Then paint over that with a least two coats of paint. If you use a brush, you'll want a paint that has low beading properties since it will show fewer of the brush marks made when applying the coating. Otherwise, you could spray the metal with a hand-held sprayer which might hold a pint or so of paint per filling. If you decide at some future point that you don't like the paint, you will be able to strip it using a chemical stripper. But keep in mind, you will have sanded or abraded the metal and it won't be as shiney as it is now. If you wish to change the color and if the original paint is still in good condition and not peeling, you simply paint over it. Make sure to wash the metal surfaces to be painted thoroughly and let them dry thoroughly also before painting. They should be washed before and after sanding to both remove any dirt, oily residues and metal shavings caused by the sanding. I also recommend that you talk to you local paint stores, if you live in a fairly large town, and tell them about your project so that they can recommend adequate products from their lines. Also, use TSP, trisodiom phospate) to wash the metal, then rinse the metal thoroughly with clean water. Many cleansers and soaps leave residues that can cause the paint coating to fail, but TSP doesn't.
Good luck.
