Grill body or lid shows excessive rust; paint is flaking and metal is pitting.

Safety first: Wear gloves and eye protection when sanding or using rust converters.

Steps to mitigate rust:

• Clean affected areas: Remove loose rust and paint with a wire brush or sandpaper.
• Apply rust converter or primer: Treat bare metal with a high-temperature rust converter or primer suitable for grills.
• Repaint: Use high-temp grill paint on the exterior surfaces as recommended by Royal Gourmet.
• Protect going forward: Store the grill under a fitted Royal Gourmet cover and avoid prolonged exposure to rain.
