BT,
I have painted stainless with good results.
Here's the first rifle I did over 2 years ago.
The barrel is a 24" stainless.
The only trouble I have had with it is that if you bang the barrel against something hard, it may chip off a very small bit of paint.
I fix that by spraying a small amount of the camo paint in a paper plate & dipping a Q-Tip in it, then just dobbing it on to cover up the chip.
It hasn't flaked off in big pieces, & has not affected accuracy. Even got the barrel pretty hot a couple of times.
