An update on Betty White.
Right before winter--and the inevitable months of rain--I spraypainted my Wal-Mart pizza pans with some leftover white spraypaint. Here's a pic of what they look like.
They aren't a perfect match, but they're close enough. Come summer time, I'm going to paint new ones with an actual "polar white" paint so they look a little closer to the same white. I will also seal the rim around the pan so that it doesn't hold water and rust as easily.
Here's a shot of the back side of the pan.
A little bit of surface rust, but really not that bad.
I noticed when I posted that there were some concerns about the longevity of using magnets to hold on pizza pans. Well, they've been on there for around 6,000 miles and I've never had even the slightest issue. I've been up to 70 MPH, gone over speedbumps, hit an unexpected pot hole and still have all four.
Speaking of which:
Here's the setup I'm using, albeit covered in small metal shavings from the backside of the pizza pan and 6,000 miles worth of brake dust. Those neodymium magnets sit atop small squares of double-sided automotive tape. Keeps them from sliding.
To keep the rim from sliding, there are three pieces of foam insulation that provide friction. When I removed the pans to add air to my tires (I was down to 36PSI! Yikes!), the insulation stuck to them like crazy, indicating to me that they were doing their job.
Here's a closeup of what a neodymium magnet looks like after 6,000 miles of holding on a Wal-Mart pizza pan. Yes, I am a 27 year old adult male and just wrote that sentence.
