A few people that know I paint asked me if you paint stainless do you need to get rid of the grain, This comes up all the time on if I buy a painted D and strip it what will I find under the paint The answer is NO you do not need to strip the grain. After the first seal coat that bonds to the stainless you use K36 until any grain marks are gone. It is good enough to cover 80 grit scratches in one or two coats and you can use up to 4 coats so the grain is not an issue and can be reversed (if you strip the paint off you do not have to regrain) If there are flaws it can be taken out in the primer.
