My UDS is a couple years old, and I am having problems with the paint and rust showing up on the outside.
I've been using cheap aerosol bbq paint from the surplus store. The initial time I painted it, I only used 1 can of paint, and I guess the coats of paint were too thin, because I had a lot of problems with rust after the 1st year.
Last spring I used a wire brush cup on my angle grinder and got rid of the rust marks and repainted with 2 cans of the same bbq paint from the surplus store.
The paint has held up a lot better this year, but I am still getting rust near the bottom where I have the holes for my intake nipples. I have minor rust stains other places where I can see grease runs down the Weber lid that I use.
Looking for a paint recommendation so this doesn't become a yearly ritual.
Thanks
Peter
