Re: spray on finishes on stainless
To get the finish to stick best you do not want to "beadblast" anything. You will want to use media or grit since the beads polish it in a way. It will stick but not near as well as it will using aluminum oxide blasting media.
I use to take my parts I needed blasted to a friends house and do it until I purchased my own stuff. If you have a smith in your area they might be willing to give it a good once over with a blaster for a fair price.
Blued Rec, Stainless barrel, Norrels Moly Resin
Blued Rec, Stainless barrel, I think GAP uses Cerakote maybe not real sure.
Blued Colt Slide, Stainless Caspian lower Norrels Moly Resin

Re: spray on finishes on stainless
If done correctly you will be very satisfied with a cerakote finish. There are several large scale manufacturers that are now using cerakote. Remington and Nighthawk are two off the top of my head.
If you are wanting black and are wanting a really good wear resistance, ionbond is a great way to go on stainless.
