I didn't either until last week. Found it at Oreilly's Auto parts store. They have two stores in town that mix paint so they had a little better selection.

That's very cool. I'm already thinking about a second build. I want to do a double walled one for winter cooking.
I'm going to borrow your technique for it. Very nice!

You can apply as many initial coats as you want and then you can put as many over the sticker as you want. The more coats over the sticker, the more pronounced it is. Just be careful that you don't do to many, you won't be able to find the sticker.

The only thing I would worry about is the rust eventually getting under the clear coat. You could let it rust and then apply some clear coat over it later.

Looks great Jeff! Looking forward to drooling over photos of the meat that thing will produce!

Your UDS is fancy. I have built two UDS. Both are plane Jane types. I bought my Barrels new from Buckner Barrel in Springville, Al. (30 miles from home)
I drilled (8) 1" holes in the lid, and made stoppers from 3/4" pipe pieces 1" long. I have endcaps on these... and I bought stainless hardware for my builds. My Intake is (4) 1" holes with short pipe nipples and endcaps. I gave in and sold my first UDS to a neighbor, so I build me another. My UDS has two racks, and a fire basket sitting on bolts for charcoal.
My racks are 22" Weber racks bought at Walmart.
I also have an old Weber lid I can use on my UDS as well.
