Montana white primer
Choose colour but my choice is always a Montana colour - can choose from their pallet black can range is a safe bet but for a really nice finish buy from their gold range

Stainless is a **** to paint!
It might stick OK if you abrade it well, but its hit and miss.
Waste of time and money imo

Have to agree, it will never give a durable finish home spraying stainless. Cheaper in your own time to buy some black ones.

It wont last 5 mins if you try to push them into the ground.

Degrease, abrade, etch primer all in a short time before it gets a coat of chromium oxide again. Not sure how durable it will end up but that's the advice for best adhesion that was given from a specialist.

I've done it and they've been fine obviously chip scratch where they go in the ground. Good rub down to key the surface, auto spray primer then I bought some black spray from toolstation job done.

Why don't you try some carbon wrap adhesive film?

Probably cheaper and will last longer than spray paint.

Spraymax 2K Epoxy Primer.

It will adhere if its prepped properly and give you some durability.

Best bet is to keep the stainless as is, if you're intent on painting them, I'd rough them up with some emory paper, etch primer/stabilise solution them and have them epoxy powder coated for longevity.

Best bet is to get them cerakoted. I raced mx bikes for 15 years, it's a common thing in the motorsport industry, very very hard wearing, better than anodising and much better than spraying. Can withstand high temperature as well as being very hard wearing.

Is it not easier to just buy some black sticks?
Are you sure?
