smithie 2,443 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 well if your a 1 man band your never going to do it for that money if its stainless. personaly i think mild steel or stainless they need painting with a matt paint so there is no shine on it. i know you would be unlucky for a we bit of moon to shine on your basket but i would paint it all the same.. and the white laundry bag on rm's basket wants a die putting on it if it was mine I agree with that but I just use mine for daytime ferreting. there's no way i'd paint a stainless basket, defeats the object of paying for quality steel. i would have stainless for the extra strength and the fact it wont be rusting if its quality stainless.. built to last, but i would not buy just for the shine....
