I disagree with their web page. 100% stainless steel. If that is the case it would be at best a powder.

So you could paint this on a part and the part could not corrode? Looks like in the pic she is painting pots and pans , bad idea to me, but does this mean it is heat resistant paint too?

This is what their FAQ says about it:
"Thomas' Liquid Stainless SteelTM is made with 100% stainless steel in an automotive grade, clear resin. We don't use any colorants, pigments or dyes. What you see is 100% stainless steel. It's a new Micrometal technology that combines microscopic particles of stainless steel with a clear, automotive grade resin. The polymerization allows the stainless steel to flow. "

here their answer to the question: ...Can I applied your product using car spray painting devices? Have this ever been done ?...
---------------------------- Hi Luc,
Congratulations on your discovery of Thomas’, the world’s first brush-on stainless steel for DIY!
In response to your inquiries, yes – you may use Thomas’ Liquid Stainless Steel to paint automotive parts. Here’s a photo sent in from a client who coated the rear panel of his DeLorean with Thomas’ brush-on stainless steel . . .
On automotive projects - it’s typically optimal to use the liquid version of Thomas’ - as opposed to the aerosol - because the liquid version is much brighter and lays smoother.
To apply Thomas’ stainless steel, use professional spray equipment, i.e. conventional, airless, air assisted airless, air brush, and HVLP systems with the proper tips and nozzles - on the gun. Your tips should be sized to accommodate a 35 micron piece of stainless steel. Dilute 3% by volume with water – as needed.
The brushed stainless steel finish may also be achieved by “backbrushing” after spraying – with a foam brush. Be sure to test this before applying to ensure it’s your preferred finish. You may also achieve the brushed finish by simply applying multiple thin coats of Thomas’ stainless steel with a foam brush.
With regard to preparation, use an appropriate primer for the surface your coating prior to applying Thomas’.
Luc, please contact us if you have further inquiries and enjoy the uniqueness that Thomas’ Liquid Stainless Steel adds to your project! Sounds like a great idea! Tim
It may be hard to see in a picture but the picture of the delorean says it all to me...now this may be a good paint etc and I would love to do some trials of my own but as for a colour match I think it misses the mark.

You guys crack me up You all have an answer for everything on nearly every thread and you haven't even seen the product in person. You are judging the product by a less than acceptable web picture? Obviously some of you have never seen a 2B finish on stainless steel, which by the way is a factory/mill satin finish. I worked as a photographer/studio manager for one of the largest stainless steel fabricators in the US for 14 years and all I can say is that this finish appears to very closely mimic a bead blasted 2B stainless steel finish. It may not be your taste but to say it's BS is just ignorant. And before any of you get your knickers in a twist, by ignorant I do not mean stupid, I mean uninformed
