Here in NC, mobile BBQ is a pretty common thing. The BBQ grills are large units that are built into trailers and pulled behind a truck. I’ve been asked to paint one of these, and I’m having a hard time finding a paint that will hold up to the temperature. Typical cooking temperature shouldn’t go over about 450 degrees F, but it would be nice to build in enough head room that 600 degrees F won’t destroy the paint job.
a really nice high temp coating is house of kolors hh-04. looks great, easy to apply. good for over 1200deg and relatively inexpensive for a ceramic coating. there is also this company http://www.cerakotehightemp.com. they make nice stuff as well but a little more pricey. they have it in colors though. hok is only black.
He wants it to be red, so I think we are going to try some Eastwood engine paint. It’s supposed to be good for about 650 degrees F.
The Cerakote stuff would be great, but it’s about twice the price of the Eastwood paint.
yeah difference being one is paint and the cerakoat is ceramic. ceramics are always a bit pricy but do work much better. may be a bit overkill for a bbq grill, i have no idea. if he just want a quick, cheap red finish on it that he doesnt mind redoing every year then the regular high heat paint should fit the bill. not sure how hot those get but i would imagine anywhere where there was fire or coals touching the metal it would easily reach 1200deg. again just guessing but if the metal gets cherry red when hot then your in that temp ballpark.
