I recently acquired a used UDS and if I wanted to repaint my UDS to a different color or glossyness, what steps should I take to do that?? Can I just paint right over the old coat(s) of paint? What are the ramifications of doing that?
Currently, my UDS is a semi gloss black. There are some stickers that came on the drum originally that were never removed and were painted over when the UDS was assembled. Some of the stickers have shrunk from the heat of previous cooks and some of the original green drum color is showing where the sticker used to stretch to so I don't think the drum was ever stripped of it's original green color in preparation of it receiving its black semi gloss coat.
I will be removing the stickers somehow then performing whatever steps are suggested here before repainting.
BTW, I own one of those weed burners/charcoal starter torches.
