Bazz I reckon the real trouble will be getting the paint too adhere to your sidekick's stainless steel surface. Leatherman can't get paint to stick to them either

. Various people have tried Duracoat(a paint designed for stainless steel metal & used predominately on firearms) & there is also Cerakote coating LM has applied to the Fuse + other people have had success using Cerakote on MTs

.
If you can get it too
stick &
stay it should not rust
