Paint on the exterior or lid is blistering, peeling, or flaking.

Safety first: Ensure the grill is cool before touching painted surfaces.

• Address root cause: Check for signs of past grease fires or misuse at extreme temperatures and correct cooking practices.
• Remove loose paint: Scrape and sand flaking areas to bare metal.
• Recoat: Apply a high-temperature, outdoor-rated paint following manufacturer instructions.

Severe warping or structural damage from overheating may require replacing the lid or body panel.
