Step 13Sanding, Primer, and Paint (the cosmetic stuff)
Sanding, Primer, and Paint
Again...only use FOOD GRADE PAINT in areas where your honey will contact painted surfaces.
Use a sand blaster, wire wheel, or other abrasive to prep your hull's surface for paint.
I used a combination of sand blasting (using Black Beauty abrasive) and wire wheel with an angle grinder.
Simply remove all dirt/rust/etc using the mentioned methods. Then, wipe down the entire hull using at least a rag, or better, a rag with MEK, Mineral Spirits, or similar, to remove dirt and dust.
Tape off any areas of the hull you don't want painted (I taped off old knobs, and identification plates). Take your prepped hull to a well ventilated area, and paint the entire hull with primer. Allow the primer to dry. Apply additional coats of white high-gloss paint (or color of your choosing).
Allow to dry overnight.
