Weber Rehab
I finally got a chance to work on my Silver C. The firebox and end panels cleaned up perfectly with my sand blaster. A can of Rustoleum High Heat black and both areas look like new. To my surprise the catch pan was enameled steel not aluminum like my Silver A and a couple of coats...
Yep mine is 2.5 hp 8 gallon 150 psi....a cheaper alternative is a 4.5 right angle grinder and a rust removal pad for same. http://www.harborfreight.com/4-12-in-angle-grinder-60625.html http://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-nylon-abrasive-wheel-94016.html
Dave the sandblaster I got from harbor freight is a portable unit capable of holding 50lbs of medium. It's really a spot blaster,but as you can see it did a good job on the aluminum casting. Here's a link http://www.harborfreight.com/portable-abrasive-blaster-kit-37025.html
Remember you need...
I just found a rather nice Genesis Silver C natural gas on CL for $60.00. I plan to replace my Silver A with
this beauty after a thorough rehab.
All in all this grill isn't in bad shape. It has cast iron grates and porcelain flavor bars both of which show a little rust.
Burners...
