I have rusty lead pipes that I want to paint black...would bbq paint work? has anyone painted their's and had something work well? And should I sand them down or just get rust paint?
Cheers
As far as I know, BBQ paint would work. I used some header paint that I found at fleet farm.
It will turn out better if you get all the old paint and rust off. I used one of these (http://multimedia.mmm.com/mws/mediawebserver.dyn?333333SQa783cMj3wMj333je874iiiiH-), and it worked pretty well.
yes...those work VERY good...
i manage to get ALL the rust off my pipes and painted it with BBQ high temp paint
I just sandblasted my pipes and painted them with high temp grill paint last week. Turned out even better than I expected. If you don't have access to a sandblaster then one of the sanding wheels that someone already mentioned would also work well. When I painted, I used multiple coats sprayed on fairly thin.
