steel shelf finishing

It's regular steel. The company that made it does the industrial look, and apparently many residential customers who live in loft-like spaces prefer the rusty look the steel gets after a while and are fine with the roughness of visible soldering. My kitchen is more traditional/modern, so I want the shelf to look as much like stainless steel as possible to go with the refrigerator and stove. My hardware store said just to paint the whole thing with Rust-oleum paint in a smoke gray. I'm hesitant to do that because I do like the color and sheen of the natural steel (it looks a lot like stainless now) and once it's gone, it can't be brought back. Many thanks for any advice you can give.
