    Painting a weber Q

    G'day No way a BBQ would get hot enough temp to bake the paint. I painted my mini WSM with caliper paint and as soon as it got hot the paint got sticky. Stripped it and used engine block paint, no problems then. Only diference with the Q is I used a hi gloss over the lid. Dave
