The high school booster club wanted their new black roaster grill lettered with their name on it. It's one those on wheels with lids about 8' long by 4' wide, anyway I used yellow VHT high temp paint per recomendations, cured it and after the first cooking the yellow turned to a nice medium brown. Should have asked here first.....BUT, has anyone "successfully" painted one of these and had the paint hold up????

I'm not famaliar with a "roaster" but sounds like they get really hot. Around here competitive BBQ ccoking is real big. I've done all sorts of BBQ cookers and just used One Shot with no problems. I'm no cook, so I haven't a clue on temps involved but BBQ is done slowly, I guess that helps with the paint. For something to discolor VHT it had to get mighty hot, don't know if I'd want to eat what they were cooking For years One Shot was the preferred paint amoung gear heads for painting engine blocks. VHT works well too, but I've found it discolors at high temps, certainly on headers and around exhaust ports.

we use a home built cooker its made out of a 275 gal fuel tank we roast pigs at 300-350 on startup I bet the temp goes up to 500 if we lite it off with charcoal igniter.. this may help when you check labels or research the subject
