Default How to tell stainless?

I was given some painted cycle parts to polish. According to my trusty magnet, they are steel. Any quick way to tell if they are stainless? I sanded some bare spots and wet them down but the air here is dry now and I'm afraid it'll take weeks to rust (if it's not stainless).

I don't want to waste time on them if they're plain carbon steel.
