Can you paint high temp paint over the galvanized steel? Or do you have to take the galvanization off first?
Good question. I thought about high temp paint too, but if you use the same or similar burners that I do I'm guessing it won't stand a chance for more than an hour. I've heard a lot of the high temp paint that is in close contact with the flame burns off and gets pretty crappy looking too. I'll try and post a pic in daylight of what the stand looks like where the galvanized coating has cooked off. I'm probably just going to let it as is.
On another note I just uncovered a 6"x6" control box here at work that's free for the taking. It's old, with some big holes in the side, but it's aluminum so I think I will be able to polish it up to look pretty sweet. That'll give me some more room to put an LED indicator to show when the Auber is calling for heat and the flame should be on. The controller has a small light built in, but I want a larger more noticeable one. Hope to get the Honeywell valve and pilot burner hooked up here soon.
