Painting Stainless Steel Railings?

Has anyone tried painting smooth, shiny, stainless steel railings (outdoor)?  We may not be able to replace them for a while and I’d really love to paint them black.  Is it impossible to get paint to adhere?  Any tips?  Thanks!

It would be really laborious but probably if you sand them really thoroughly & put a proper primer on it could work.
