Lime Green Paint

KettleCookin · May 25, 2016, 06:01:26 AM

Guys, I have an old, rusty Weber kettle grill that I think is from 76-77. I want to repaint it lime green. However, I'm not really sure where to get some lime green paint that can withstand high temperatures. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This place seems to have high temp color paint.

Been wrong before but from everything I have seen and read on this site I don't think there is any paint that can withstand high temps. If it is near the heat it'll turn black.

Right, and that's what I've read too. I might just have to accept its rustiness. What about a clear coat?...maybe I can glorify its rustiness. Would a clear coat turn black?

I'd just clean it. Then season the rust spots with bacon grease/vegetable oil followed by some heat.

Forgive my stupid questions...but I should probably sand down the rust spots?

We're getting ahead of ourselves. What color is it and why aren't there pictures in this thread?

It's in so bad of shape that I don't even know what color it is. I just took it to my local welder to get the legs repaired. I think I have some pics on my old phone at home, will try to post when I get there.

OK, I have to ask. If it's in that bad a shape, why are you even bothering to fix it? Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Because I think it's cool lol. It was free, so I don't have a lot of $ invested in it. I just like the fact that it's that old.

I think I'm leaning toward the idea of glorifying it's roughness.

No need to "lol". It's a known fact that older is cooler. Plus beat is better.

No worries. Have fun with it!
