Could someone paint my stainless steel flask?

Can of paint at walmart or the auto store is only about $1.50-2.00 seems like thats the cheapest way, just hang it from a string and go at it. Two coats from 15 inches away with a little drying time in between and you're all set.

You may want to consider something like this?

Plasti Dip Spray On Coating

Coat anything with a flexible rubber coating.

•Flexible - won't crack, chip or become brittle
•Insulates from electrical shock, vibration, heat and deadens sound.
•Provides safe, non-slip comfort and control.
•Durable - resists weather, chemicals, impact and abrasion.
•Available in red, yellow, black, blue, white and clear.
•Covers approx 5-10 sq ft
•11oz can

This is the best idea.

That would look pretty sweet. Only problem may be the size of the opening on the can for dipping a flask in it, but for less than $8 it would be worth looking into.

Might want to consider powder coating instead. More durable, and a relatively comparable price.

Less than 10$ to powder coat something?

Some people won't even look at things for less than 10$ these days

Depends on the market. I did a quick google search for powder coat prices and found a couple sites that charge by the piece. Cheapest I saw was $5.

I did a little research (very little) on this because that was my first thought as well. But, since powder coating is applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin" and most of us do not have the means to do this, I thought it was a lost cause. You can purchase spray paint that claims to be "powder coating", but it's just not the same and IMO no better than regular spray paint.

This seems possible; I could apply it by hand and avoid dipping it.

Thanks guys
