I bought a stainless steel prep table - the kind that is used in commercial kitchens - for my laundry room. my wife wanted to paint it to match the walls. We sanded the table to try to allow the paint to stick and then used spray prier and spray paint - 3 coats but still cannot get the paint to adhere well.
