I reckon you'd have to rough up the stainless pretty well so the paint would stick, get it really clean and use a good etch primer

some clubby grilles were black as standard weren't they?

Clubby grilles were matt black, with some parts not painted, to give the silver lines effect.

On the 2 grilles I have stripped, the black was applied straight to the metal, with no primer......but when I re do my own, I will use an etch primer then matt black over that.

Jam, did you have to prep the surface of the grill before you did it? what method did you use?
