Polish or Paint Stainless Steel Tool Chest?

I was thinking of getting this tool box . It's comes with a stainless finish. I was thinking of either painting it yellow with black hardware or trying to polish it up like a mirror.

Will paint stick to it? I would rather paint it for ease of cleaning but I would need some tough paint.

Any ideas of what to use for painting or polishing?

Anyways they sell one just like this at Costco for $650. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't have a full width drawer.

Take it to a body shop and have them prep and paint the sucker. I can almost garuntee it will look sweet and worth the money. Ypu can also get it powder coated or even use a spray or apply yourself roll on type of bedliner for a truck. Many of them come in different colors. The powder coating and bedliner would probably hold up the best.

I say polish it. Just be sure to keep it clean.
