The inside was very nice with no rust due to being constantly exposed to oil. I used a POR-15 starter kit from Amazon.com, it was quite inexpensive and the whole job just took a couple teaspoons of paint. A little goes a long way with POR15. Do not get POR15 on anything you don't want painted permanently, such as your hands. It will not come off. Make sure the lid and top lip of the paint can are perfectly clean when you re-close the can, or the lid will not come off again the next time you have a little rust-proofing project. Dip into the can with a plastic spoon and transfer the paint to a disposable container such as a pie tin, so you don't contaminate the paint. This gives you an excuse to start the job by eating pie.

You had me at “pie”. Yum
