I was wondering how high the temperature
can be for powder coating to survive?

I have a cast iron, hibachi type of barbeque
grill that is becoming nothing but rust. And I
would like to prevent the next one from rusting
away.

How hot is a charcoal fire?


Thanks.

Way too hot for powder coating. The highest temp powder coating cures at
500 degrees. Worked in a powder shop for 11 years and got to do lot's of
misc. work. I showed folks just how easy it is to destroy most powder.

However there are other coatings that will handle the temperatures
without problems. Ceramics and flame sprayed metals both will handle the
heat. Jet-Hot is a company that does both.

Might try one the the exhaust header paints produced by POR-15

I have tried this on a fire pit I built from cold rolled steel and it
has survived well for over a year.

Powder coating will not stand up to the high heat. SORRY. try a ceramic
coating or something like that. How much is this thing worth???
