Is there any new paints or process to do limited painting on stainless steel?
Thanks

Re: Can Stainless be painted on?
As far as I know you can.
Use a primer and paint when the metal is warm (like room temperature, not low oven).
Depending on the polish you may need to use steel wool.

I suspect that you can skip the zinc undercoat that I use on my outdoor ironwork.

Clean metal and rustoleum spray-paint works pretty damn good on stainless, mild and aluminum. Yes it can scrape off but only powder-coat is more durable and that can also scrape off.

Sure.
Just roughen the surface with 100grit sandpaper. Clean, then apply a self etching primer. The apply acrylic or Latex paint. Then clear coat enamel.
I'm assuming you are asking about a stainless helmet?
