If you have lots of money send it out to get hi temp powder coated. If you
have a little
bit of money wire brush it and rub anti-sieze into it with an old rag. It
will look a cool
silver color, resist hi heat and stay silver, and will resist rust a little
bit, but probably not in
the salt air where you live.
