High Temp Smoker Paint

[mcyork28]

Is there a better option than the Rustoleum grill paint when repainting a smoker?

Preparation is the key to all paint projects. As to application, spray paint is best for small projects and touch-ups. Google "painting a car with Rust-Oleum and a foam roller". A foam roller applies a lot more paint.

I just got some Dupli-Color for mine. Only rated up to 500 but I do not take my UDS over 300 so I hope it's fine. I only picked this brand because they had the colors I wanted.

FYI, if you use a paint with ceramic (caliper paint), shake it well and take your time. It’s a pain in the a** to sand if you get a run in it.

Depending on the size of the cooker (and if it’s a full restoration vs. a smaller area), I’d personally use spray gun over a rattle can for a better result. That isn’t to say you can’t get great results with a rattle can; it’s just so much easier to use a spray rig and get a nicer final result.

get that brand but buy it in the quart can and spray or roll it on and is much better paint then in the aerosol can .

I don't recommend the 500° Rustoleum paint, but I have used the higher temp Rustoleum primer and paint with good results. There are also high temp automotive paints available.

Cleaning the metal and applying a good base of primer will really improve the looks of your top coat. I do what is called a 'stripe coat', meaning that first I spray the hard to cover areas... like edges, seams etc. Sometimes I'll prime them twice, then begin to feather the primer to cover the other areas. I warm up the cans and literally shake them for at least 5 minutes.

Thanks for all the feedback. Hoping to get to it this weekend.

Sherwin Williams sells a 1000 degree fire proof paint called black kettle or something along the lines of that it has a picture of the black kettle on it. It is $$ pricey 100$ a gallon but they sell quarts for maybe 15 or 20$
