How to Repaint a Grill Primer

Throughout the year, grills rust, accumulate grime from cooking, and get dirty from outdoor elements. As part of the grill's restoration process, people clean their grill and repaint their grill's primer. Grill primer helps corrosion resistance, seals the surface of the grill, and improves the grill's color. The best time to repaint your grill is anytime that you have dry weather and low humidity, which are conditions that best help dry the primer. Primer can be bought at gardening or outdoor cooking supply stores.
