Hi Weber Gurus, I should have read more posts before I went ahead with touch up paints... I didn't realize that this was a no-no. Yes, I have made some touch ups (with 1000F rustoleum paint) inside the performer 2 bowl. They are not major brushed strokes but here and there small touch ups thinking the touch ups would prevent rusts from developing. The major touch ups I made was around the propane igniter hole.
Now with much of sighs, I am seriously hesitant to grill on this thing. (I have other grills to cook on but I was looking forward to utilizing this performer) What should I do? Should I scrape off the paints I made (but how and how do I know how much is good enough)? or Should I go through few no food burn cycles to burn off any toxic fumes? or there is no turning back and the bowl is no longer usable and I should toss it away?
Besides the inner side of the bowl, the most paint job I did was on the propane igniter holder which sits outside the bowl but butting to the external side of the bowl. That piece of metal was quite rusted that I scraped off rusts and painted the whole thing with 1000F rustoleum paint. The good thing is that that piece of metal is outside of the bowl, at least. No paint inside of the lid though.
I was trying to be careful to not use a lot of paint inside the bowl so I made few touch ups. But, after reading some forum articles, I realized that I crossed the river. Safety before anything so please let me know your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks a lot.
