So I just purchased a vintage egg from a deceased neighbor who bought it more than 20 years ago according to his son. It need somme love so I ordered new gaskes, new bands, a new vent cover, and now I need to paint it. How, what, do I use to paint it??? What about Rustoleom High Temp paint?? Any ideas??
Thanks!

    Love to see a pic of a vintage egg that old.
    Someone on the forum has a gold painted egg but I do not remember which member it was, sorry.

    probably be fine. you may want to ask around about max temp on that egg, some of the older ones were made of a different material and only are good up to about maybe 400. im not sure when they changed to the newer ceramics that take the high heats.

    Only thing I would suggest is using high temperature engine paint.

    I have just painted an egg that is over 20 years old.

    Actually, it is the second time that it's been painted.

    I did use the high temp grill paint and have had no

    problems. This is a clay egg which is fine with the

    Rustoleum grill paint. Go for it..
