I use high temp spray from rustoleum. After a good cleaning: I spot spray my black Weber, only in areas I would see a small rust ding or a chip on the surface.

I tape off the area so the only spot that gets the paint is the spot the needs it.

If done right it will last years till the next touch up day.

I have used Rust Oleum high heat ultra with very good results.
