If the current stainless isn't too bad. I'd probably recommend bead blasting or detail polishing to freshen it up what you've got.

beadblast the rounds and 280 or 300 grit sandpaper on a flat surface to clean it up a bit on the flats and make it look satin...

Bead blast for a matte finish or scrub/polish if you want it shiny. Personally, I don't see the point of covering up stainless steel, but if you're thinking of colors. I'd recommend selling it and getting something in the color you want because any finish you put on stainless won't last long.
