Default adding color to ploished stainless steel?

I was wondering if there is any way to add a color to polished stainless steel, similar to the effect of anodizing aluminum. Since anodizing doesn't work on steel, I was wondering if there is another alternative.

Paint isn't what I want to do. It doesn't have the hardness of the steel, therefore it is more prone to damage and changes the tolerances too much.

why not add tint to automotive clear and spray it? Also it might be possible to add tint to GlistenPC.
