As I recall, Testors has a line of "Metallizer"
paints, which are intended soley for representing
various types of bare metals. They should have a
stainless steel in their lineup. I don't recall
exactly, but I belive you must airbrush these
"metallizers", and I don't think they can be buffed
after painting. But I have seen some truly spectacular
results with them. I'd ask about them the next time
you are in a hobby shop you trust...
