Things You'll Need:
- Wire brush
- Spray-on grill cleaner
- Sanding pads
- Grill primer
- High-heat enamel paint
-
Step 1
Spray the entire inside bottom of the grill with a grill cleaner/degreaser. After letting it sit for several minutes, scrub it with a wire brush to remove built up grease and grime.
-
Step 2
Wipe off the loosened buildup with a rag or spray off with a garden hose.
-
Step 3
Clean the grate using the same degreaser or purchase a new grate. Several grates now come with expandable sides to fit many sizes of grills.
-
Step 4
Check the grill burner for excessive rusting. If the burner is too rusted, it's time to invest in a new one. Burners with uneven sized holes will cook food unevenly.
-
Step 5
Remove the control knobs from the front of the grill and clean the surface with grill cleaner.
-
Step 6
Remove rust and scale from the entire outer surface of the grill. Use a sanding pad and scrub until the surface is cleaned. Use a rag to wipe off the dust.
-
Step 7
Spray paint the cleaned exterior surfaces with a coat of primer, then follow with a coat of high heat enamel paint. Use paint that's made for use on metal.
