Thanks - I will follow that. I am going to paint it burnt copper, the only primer I could find that can withstand high temps from Rust-Oleum is gray. Would that be feasible since burnt copper is a darker tone?

Don't worry about that. Spray the paint several times then you'll be fine. That's the reason why I suggest you to buy two cans.
