If your grill’s looking a bit tired – give it some love and get it ready for the big Heritage Day braai using Rust-Oleum Ultra High Heat paint. Add some heat and some sizzle to your braai when you restore its good looks!
Create the look
What you’ll need:
- Wire brush
- Lacquer thinners and soft cloth
- Sandpaper
- Drop sheet
- Specialty High Heat BBQ Black (protective enamel)
Prepare
Before you start painting, make sure you protect your work area with a drop cloth. Using a wire brush, remove any loose paint or rust spots from your braai. Sand the rest of the braai surface with coarse sandpaper. Clean with lacquer thinners and a soft cloth.
Top Tip
Although these products are resistant to extreme temperatures (up to 648°C), they are not flame resistant. Painted surfaces in direct contact with a naked flame will require touching up.
Paint
Shake the can for 1 minute after you hear the mixing ball begin to rattle. This will mix the paint evenly. Hold the can upright, 30cm from the surface, and apply High Heat BBQ directly to the bare metal. Keep steady hand motions while spraying, slightly overlapping each stroke. Let it sit for a few minutes before applying the second and final coat.
Finish
The paint will be touch dry in half and hour and ready to handle in 1 to 2 hours. Only fire up your braai after a good hour has past.
