I need some color on stainless

I would like to reach some kind of information about the stainless steel coloring process (books, websites). Our shop does a lot of stainless steel polishing.

That is a very limited process and is proprietary with limited colors. There are some other possibilities, but you have not provided anywhere enough information about your product or exactly what you want it to do to have anyone be able to help.

You can find some information in Fishlock's book Metal Colouring!
