Icefever Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Collected the drum yesterday as planned, looks the dogs doodars...can't wait to get on with it. A couple of photos but you can't do much, a drums a drum and that's it.. ? Nice and clean being new, nothing on it only a trace of machine oil....will get a couple of coats of primer on this week. The 3rd photo is the roll top it's a work of art....and the lid is the same, so it makes a great fit as it snaps closed. Ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icefever Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 I have seen some high temp that don't need a primer, but "I don't want to spoil the ship for ha'porth tar". A couple of can of primer won't break the bank, the only thing I'm worried about, would the primer react with the paint as it doesn't need it??? Ice.

In all honesty it takes a good 3 or 4 cans of paint to properly cover the drum . There is a cheap seller on eBay . I didn’t use primer as I used the Matt green Bbq paint . And it said don’t use a primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily a mate of mine wanted his wheels doing in a flat black so I got my UDS and Weber lid done. Turned out great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 That looks great, but would get all scratched and scuffed, in the back of one of my trailers, taking to Smokers weekend etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabs Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 It's surprisingly durable compared to paint. Takes a lot to scratch it. Only downside is you can't go above 150°c for long periods otherwise it'll discolour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray10ANN10 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 hi how did you ensure the lid fits correctly , im finding that even welding a strip around the ring it still leaves the weber lid wobbling about thanks for your help all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabs Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Make sure the lip is level first, mines a bolted piece of ally so it was easy'ish to bend and position with clamps then drill to its final spot. Then to make sure I had a good seal I used the BBQ gasket stuff from lavalock. Makes a nice smoke free seal. The weight of the lid works a treat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
