Tthe materiall is stainless steel; what are thoughts about spray painting this black with a Rustoleum product?

I wouldn't do that, as I think the water would eventually make the paint peel off. I use the rustoleum on our bar b que and it only does a fair job.

I think it would look beautiful with your stainless if you use black grout. Have you bought the tile or are you basing your conclusions on what the pic looks like? Buy one tile and then decide.

It's made if metal with a black powder coat -so yes metal will rust exposed to weather. You could try spraying with a more weather proof paint .

I went to lowes and painted the thing with rustolium paint! And it has helped!

Looks like you can, we used sand paper to get rid of rust flakes and applied this on top.. Everything is like blacked paint and stayed like that till now.. If there is something developing inside surface we wiild not know but looks like that black layer itself is water resistant and shut down the rust..

I replaced my old stainless steel one with black, and the new black spray handle looks fine against the old stainless steel pipe. But I have no idea what the new stainless steel ones look like, so I can't answer your question. Why not just replace your old black one with a new black one?

It is painted but will probably start rusting quickly. I wouldn't leave it in the weather for long. At least put a tarp over it.

I bought the stainless one. Installed, there's nothing black on it. If you send me an email address,I can send you a picture.

I have found that cleaning while the grill is warm and then giving it a liberal spray with aerosol Olive Oil (I prefer this to Pam or other coatings) keeps mine rust free. I keep mine outside in a larger grill with a cover and so far, it hasn't developed any rust. I get the generic spray olive oil locally for like 2.00 a can and a can lasts for a while. I am going to use this method instead of the painting method. Just a personal preference.

After you convert the rust, it becomes a different and stable metal. You can paint over it with most any paint so I would assume rubberize undercoting is fine.

I used water based polyurethane and love it. I used the rustoleum brand in gloss (maybe it's called high gloss). I waited for the paint to completely dry for about a week, and then I applied 2 coats. It went on really easily and looks much better than it did without it. Also now the fridge is very easy to clean. There is not a single scratch or anything. I would highly recommend putting the polyurethane on. The water based poly doesn't smell, dries in about an hour and cleans up with water.

I agree - almost anything can be painted black - not sure why you would want to - the natural finish I think is very nice

Actually have not painted this material but there are a couple spray painta on the market for plastics. Rust oleum is the one I have used for similar products. Clean it well, follow the weather recomdations, & apply in several light, even coats, starting spray off the material, move smoothly across area, & stop after you get past the edge.

No. This is an awful product that rustoleum will not stand behind. Mine failed along with several others. Look in another direction. I highly recommend not using this product!

I have one of these which lives outside. I first primed with Rustoleum primer, followed by a moss green Rustoleum outer coat. (The moss green does a great job of toning down the tower's presence in the yard: the neighbors appreciate it.) There are small areas of rust bubble, but I believe that's because the tower was outside for about six weeks before I repainted it. I have noticed that water is seeping into the interior of the frame so I am going to try caulking the rubber boots on the base. You could also consider a grill cover or tarp as an additional measure of protection. My recommendation would be to paint it first before assembly to ensure maximum effective coverage, particularly for those portions of the unit which are covered by joins and joints (e.g., arm rests to the uprights).

Hummm, I don't think it will survive the rust! Maybe if you spray a coat of rust proofing!

I live in Arizona where it probably would not rust, but I'm sure it would up north. I would just buy a can of gray Rustoleum spray paint and give it a zap whenever it looks a little iffy. I personally think outdoors would be a preferable place to use it. It is a great tower at a great price.
