Probat L12 refubishment. Paint question

[Gustopher]

Hi All

I am just embarking on a refurbishment of a 1990 Probat L12. Does anyone have any advise on specifications or brands of paint that are appropriate? I'm thinking I'll need something at least rated to 300°c? 2pac? powdercoat? So far the painters in my area have been very unhelpful. I do have a guy who is happy to spray a product that I source.

Any advise most appreciated.

Powdercoat is very durable if applied properly.

Is it going to be visible to the public? Or are you planning on selling it after you refurbished it? If either one of these is the case then I certainly do a powder coat. If not I'd just strip it down to the bare metal who cares about painting if it is not going to be visible to the public as long as it's stainless steel or aluminum

All the powder coaters I have talked to so far have rated their paints at no more than 200°c. I'm thinking it is too low to stand up to the heat this roaster will put out.

The roaster is mostly mild steel so leaving it raw is out of the question.

I would call USRC or Diedrich and see if they can recommend a paint...

Here's a link to extreme high temp paint with heat resistance up to 1235°F (653°C).

Most painted surfaces that are for appearance or dress on a roaster are well below the roasting temperature. On my toper the green surfaces are in the 200 degree F range, the face is matte black steel and that gets hot, and all exhaust areas are chrome or black metal. \

Get a powder paint that is thermal setting
