food grade paint

[rob]

I am bulding a wine press as I posted early, I started out with stainless steel hoops and have found them to be to weak, I would like to go to steel and paint them, like most have. My question is do I really need to use food grade paint, some places say yes and some say no, what have some of you used in the past

Rob I don't have the answer your looking for but if you do need food grade paint one place that has it is Presque Isle.

You dont really need food grade paint for the short period your wine will be in there. I would paint it though as Ive heard of wine having a chemical imbalance with raw metal and turning it a different color.
