I'm wondering what the best matching black high heat paint for my Genesis Silver. I used some Header paint today but its to Flat. If anyone knows what the best is, I'd like to know.

I use Rustoleum and VHT. Both are reasonably priced and do a good job.
There are others out there at a premium price that I have no experience with.
 
I have used rustoleum high heat in both flat and semi gloss. I use the semi gloss for the frame and end caps and flat on the cook box. On the frame, I just use it on the area that is in close proximity to the cook box, otherwise I use rustoleum 2x black gloss on the rest of it.
 
I like Rustoleum semi-gloss, too. However, I am starting to like the new Krylon grill paint maybe even more:

I bought one of these today to try it out. But at my Lowe's store these sell for $7 a can and not $22. That is a bit expensive.

I don't mind the matte finish of the Rustoleum and I am a fan of the "brush on" version. I use it with a roller which gives it a nice orange peel effect which nicely covers imperfections in the cast aluminum. But what I don't like too much about the Rustoleum paint is the color. It is not really a dark black. More like a really dark brown. At least compared to the factory color.
This is why I want to compare the Krylon against the Rustoleum.
 
I am going to use the Krylon on the Silver C its the 1200 degree the link shows. My Lowes just started carrying it and as Stefan said it was $7.00 a can, I will be using it on the firebox and lids.

Carl if you want to see what caliper paint looks like go to this thread. Very glossy really needed to get a few more coats on it but it is holding up well. That paint is the same price as the Krylon but its an add on and I thought I would try the Krylon since its now local to me.

I posted the Amazon link only to show the product. That price is insane! I also buy mine at Lowes.
 
Jon, actually its like 26.99 a can on ebay it has to be because nobody carries it they carry the 600 stuff but until you pointed out that Lowes started carrying it I could not find it anywhere locally. Lowes seems to have cut down there Rusto inventory and now a lot more Krylon paint selections probably cause Krylon gave them a deal.

If I like the results will probably go and buy 6 or 7 cans of it since if they decide to dump it down the road kind of screwed for us 22 bucks a can on Amazon 3 cans at Lowes for the same price.

It must be selling at Lowes or maybe they just did not buy a lot of inventory cause they only had one can in stock which I bought the last can.
 
Well I tried the caliper paint, and way to glossy. I went back to the VHT header paint and it looks good. I'll post some pics when I'm done.

You can search on here for instructions. If I wasn’t writing from my phone I’d do it for you ...
