Interior enamel color

Has anybody ever seen a kettle with an interior enamel color other than black?  There's a new in the box kettle for sale near me.  It's a promo kettle and the interior is red.  I'm wondering if it's factory enamel or if they bought the kettles and spray painted them.

** Update **
I ended up buying this kettle.  Seller was less than 30 minutes from my work and he came down in price a bit.  Upon getting it home and examining it more closely, it looks like this promo kettle was coated after the fact which explains the red interior.   The top vent rivet has clearly been drilled out and then re-installed with a screw (vent and rivet/screw hole is now larger than factory and hole is dimpled out from drilling).  The coating was professionally done and looks great, but I have no idea if these were intended as displays or if they were a give-a-way item intended for cooking.  Date code is EI.  I have not assembled it yet.  Most likely will use it as a display item.

Can see much with those pics, I am curious to see what you are talking about

Sorry!  I have updated the pic.  Kettle is in a weber box.  Lid has Weber stamped vent.  I've never seen a kettle with a colored interior,  but I'm no expert.

That should be in your trunk.
I have never seen one with the inside colored to match the outside that wasn't black.

Is it a Coca Cola logo 18.5" promo kettle? Can you provide pics of the lid, the logo & the Weber stamped lid vent?

I have seen a kettle with a colored interior:

I think it's an Amstel light logo kettle. Some of the packaging is indicative of a 22", so it was a yellow flag for me. Also, too far from STL. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
Happiness is found under the lid of a charcoal grill.

Thanks everyone.  Yes it's Amstel light.  Pic of the top vent is hard for me to make out as I have a visual impairment but it looks to be EO which makes sense given wood handles and 3 bottom bowl vents.  No reply from the seller yet.

I hope you can score the grill @usedjim best of luck

Cool grill!  Hope to see more pictures. 

The closest thing I've seen to a non-black inner bowl is a dark bluish black on my patent pending Statesman.
