Smoker Paint And Finish Options

[EverydayDiesel]

Hello, It is getting close to time to seal this thing up so I am looking at paint/sealing type options.

I saw one that was boiled linseed oil that was outstanding but in my case, the tank (and my welds) have imperfections so I do not thing it will look that great.

Has anyone ever tried a truck bed like coating or is that not a good idea with this cooking food and all.

What is everyone using?

Cheap option is ol rattle can from rustoleum-grill paint

Can also pay to have powder coated. I personally will be spraying mine with cerakote 1800F air cure. If you have an HVLP gun you are looking at $100-$200 in paint. If not it could get up to $300+

Raw linseed oil is the thing nowadays. If your welds look like crap it will show painted or not. Take a grinder to them and smooth them out if you want but I say hell with it and be proud of your build stack of dimes or not

Bed liner is NOT an option. It is not rated for high temps and is guaranteed to melt first time you fire it up.
