I am painting the sides and top of the double door stainless commercial freezer I picked up to refurbish as a salumi maturing chamber. The sides are sheet aluminum, the front and inside is 304 stainless steel, There was something corrosive that spilled on one side of the unit. I cleaned it with soap and water, then sprayed multiple coats of aluma bright which is a mixture of acids. This removed whatever was on it. The wall had some etching lines, which is why I decided to spray with appliance epoxy. The etched surface sprayed with aluma bright will give excellent adhesion to the epoxy enamel.
So-question...how many coats of paint do you recommend? I sprayed one good coat of paint on the top and both sides. Went through 5 or 6 cans of paint. I went light with the paint to prevent runs, but I can see I will definitely need at least one more coat. If you have done this before, pointer appreciated. Thanks.
Oh-and pics.
The etched side...
