I have to write a specification to refinish stainless steel elevator interior surfaces. Anybody have information on that? Best place to go, standards to use, an already written spec I can steal...

I don't have anything specifically on refinishing stainless, but the big metal restoration contractors like Stuart Dean (if they're in your area) can help with the technique. I saw some guys in my office lobby just last week using Scotch-Brite pads on a s.s. guard desk - but I didn't see what chemicals they were using (didn't have much odor).

In my neck of the woods (Boston), any time you do anything inside an elevator you need to use a licensed elevator constructor (union regs). There are specialists here that do elevator cab interiors (and sometimes electro-mechanical upgrades) who have been helpful to me in the past on this type of think.

I'd try those two routes.

You may also want to try getting in touch with a food service equipment fabricator. They deal with refinishing SS counters, sink tables, drain boards, etc. all the time. Since they have to repair and touch-up their stuff all the time (lest they eat the cost of refabricating it!), they may turn out to be a great resource as well.

Good Luck!
