Finally getting to the end of the BBQ, and am now at the stage of welding in the supports for the charcoal tray. Before I fix them finally, I want to paint all the inside, and I have at my disposal the following:
a) a tin of generic grey metal undercoat/primer [brush on]
b) a rattle can of Lidl's finest "red undercoat/primer" - pretending to be red lead, I suspect....
c) two cans of Lidl's finest black VHT paint
d) a rattle can with some wrinkle finish VHT paint ex Frost & Co - this
one https://www.frost.co.uk/vht-black-wrinkle-finish-310ml.html
e) a rattle can [again Lidl's Matt Black iirc] with some contents
I've not read the very small print on the cans [well, who does that...... ] but am looking for suggestions from the Collective as to how to proceed - I know there are painting experts on here.
For the outside, my Baldrick plan is to paint with undercoat/primer by brush to use up the tin [happy to apply 2 coats since it dries quickly]. But for final colour coat, would I have to get [say] a radiator enamel to better withstand any heat? I even thought of using pink [pig, get it] but don't think my lad would be amused..... Think it might end up black & boring
Here's where we are atm......
