What High Heat Paint do you use on Your Firebox?

[Samuel]

My Home Depot has High Heat Ultra Semi Gloss in a Can which is the color I wanted to use in black.
They have High Heat Satin in a Quart, that rolls on, but I thought this color might be to dull.
Is there High Heat black Glossy paint that rolls on that you all might recommend and where did you find it.
If you have pics of results that would be helpful.

A lot of people recommend Stove Bright, either satin or flat black.

Also I would recommend spray, just for ease.

Have any pics, although I was looking for a gloss black. I have seen many a post with black paint but I have not noticed anyone posting which one they used. Thus the reason for the thread.

Samuel,
I switch it up every couple grills.

Sometimes it's Rustoluem High Heat Ultra
Sometimes I use Krylon High Heat or High Heat Max
Sometimes it's Stove Brite Satin.

Of those mentioned Rustoleum High Heat Ultra is the glossiest, Stove Brite Satin the flattest.

Is it possible to get Rustoleum High Heat Ultra in a quart can. If not have you had any issue with it running when you spray it on. That was my concern. I did buy it with a can along with comfort spray grip accessory.

Off topic, but how did you get that Durawood to look so good or is that Durawood?

 

[Jeff MA]

Did my Ron Burgundy in High Heat Ultra for both the box as well as the end caps.
Very glossy as evident by the refection of the knobs and control panel.

For reference, here is a brand new in the box 13 bar Cook Box that I have. You can see by the sheen that it is more of a satin finish-

Never used the quart, only the spray can. No issues running, did not use the comfort grip add on.

This is actually painted wood, Weber used that on certain models before going to Dura Wood. Both my Skyline as well as my 5000 used painted wood.

@Jeff MA, I think your right the Satin finish on the firebox with the Ultra Semi Gloss on the endcaps is an excellent look and contrast. I seem to like that the best.

 

[Jeff MA]

Samuel,
Yes, the Satin on the Fire Box and the High Heat Ultra on the End Caps are a good combo.

I don't think Rustoleum offers the Ultra in a 1 quart can. The regular High heat is offered but that is much too gray for my liking.

The only paint I had issues with is the Krylon High Heat. I used it on my Junior Cook Box and it's flaking off. The Box was lightly sanded and prepped like all my other restores. Who knows, maybe I got a bad batch of paint.
I will redo it with Stove Brite over the Winter months.

Wow, how'd you find that?!

See this post-

A rare find.indeed.. Brand new in the box Genesis Platinum Cookbox!

So I was doing my regular routine..checking the online sites for Weber items when I came across a post that stated " Weber Gas Grill-Cooking/Firebox- (Part)" I scanned the ad and what caught my eye was the two sets of notches in the box for Flavorizer Bars. Hmmm... was this an older 13 bar...

I think, but can't prove, that the earliest Genesis grills had a more "flat" finish on the firebox. As time went on it seems the newer ones are more like "satin" and not as different on shade or sheen from the end caps. I did my Skyline with semi-gloss black on both (I believe Krylon High Heat Max). I was doing a custom look, so I didn't care that it was not "stock." Even so, I would normally use a satin black (like on Jeff's Skyline) for the firebox rather than flat, just because I like it.

I have a Jr. begging for my attention once my shop is functional. This may be the first grill that I use a true flat black on the firebox since I will be trying hard to be "authentic" in my restore.

This is a picture of my 1988 Junior model. This was before I took it apart and repainted the box. If you look at the Cook Box which was never painted it was definitely not of the flat variety, but more like the new 13 bar box I pictured above.

Thanks, Jeff! That's pretty interesting having an original finish to use as a target to aim for. Maybe I will stick with a satin black.
