paint type

[jwatson]

Hey guys, first time posting here and got a question. I'm building my first gravity feed smoker and am wondering with it being fully insulated with roxul i should be able to paint with regular automotive paints. Am i correct in this?

If I recall correctly, Puff used regular automotive paint on his GF and didn't have any issues.

I think that the area around the FB door got a little toasty tho.

Yes,You can even get really fancy pain too. I have seen some folks put a piece of diamond plate aluminum around that FB door to keep the paint in safe keeping.

Thanks for the input. I work in a bodyshop so I'm really wanting to put a nice paint job on it and the diamond plate could be a nice addition.

I used regular enamel paint on mine and used high temp engine paint on ash door area and as you can see the framework on smoker side even though I used engine paint for this area it is still discolored from the heat. At one time I checked temps and at 250 f cook chamber temp my ashbox frame was 362f and charcoal chute lid was 185f.

Has anyone out there tried powder coating?

Only issue I've seen posted is around the FB door.

I have been thinking about powder coating once mine is done, he estimated it at 300.00 for the mini for 2 colors, high heat on the doors.

Edit: That is also including blasting.

That sounds like a good price
