Bar lamps

Hi
I have some bar lamps I turned from 6061 t5 aluminum and I want the end product to have a stainless steel colour. Could you suggest a coating or process that would get me my desired results?

Thank you for your quick reply

Hi, Mike.

There are dyes for anodized aluminum that are intended to mimic stainless steel. See if you can find an anodizing shop that offers this. Good luck.

Regards,
