Want Plastic Dipping of a steel vessel

I am looking for a plastic coating that can be applied to a steel vessel. I would like to apply this coating to the outside of the steel vessel. I would like to apply the coating by dipping the vessel in the plastic coating.

Thank you in advance for any help.

The process you are seeking is called plastisol dipping, and indeed involves dripping the item into a tank of liquid vinyl plastisol, then (usually) baking it. Conventional thicknesses of the vinyl coating range from 30 to 90 mils. Spraying may be more appropriate than dipping, depending on the size of the vessel you are coating.
