So I think the finished product looks pretty good: BUT the durability seems questionable at best ever since I baked it. Some of it scraped off coming out of the oven. I’m not sure if this has to do with either the primer or OEM paint not liking the bake or maybe I didn’t scuff it up enough...

What do you do with the newer Weber badge that is just a sticker that inevitably peels off the plate? Can I buy a new sticker for it or do I need to get a whole new badge? Thanks in advance. Edit: The black is still inset so I suppose I could clean it up the same way as the old one and then...

Ah, the infamous side-burner. Good in theory, but has anyone ever used it? It’s NG so completely different audience, I’m guessing he pulled his price from yours. It’d be cool if he cleaned it.

Looks like new! I’m going to make an educated guess on painting the floor panel, only because I’ve seen them rot.

Apparently it doesn’t smell like ribs. The wife came home halfway and says it smells terribly of paint, I had to open a bunch of windows and put fans in them.

The misses went for groceries so on with the project! It turns out the pair of endcaps will fit in the oven. Barely. I’ve oriented them differently so that I could keep a close eye on them as they warmed up. Before putting them in there I inspected them closely for plastic, one of the washers...

I’m gonna keep it, but I bet someone wants to buy it!

Within an hour the first one was dry, I took it down and did the same to the other side. Here is the finished product less the oven bit, I should get to that Tuesday. If nothing else this grill is going to look like bling (I’ve got the silver on the firebox). I bet there’s a celebrity...

Thanks! I’m trying to get it to look good enough/ last long enough where I don’t feel bad dropping th $ on a set or RCPlanebuyer grates and flavorizors.

The bottle says to use 2 thin coats followed by one medium coat. Here is coat 1 : And coat 2: The imperfections are clearly still there but aren’t sticking out as bad: I also need to bake it at 200F for best results. It appears to be aluminum so that should be fine, I’m going to attempt it...

I chickened out on the textured spray after I couldn’t find anything better than 200F. I went with a glittery VHT engine enamel, I think the sparkles should hide some of the imperfections. This is going to be an interesting looking creation. The stuff is a pain to spray, it needs to be done...

Interesting idea. I was hoping to use spray paint due to the number of angles involved but I will keep it in mind. So far everything I’ve looked at has been limited to 200F. I was hoping for at least 300 as part of it is close to the fire box. I assume the 200 is because they are using bits of...

So I primed it, let it dry overnight, then flipped it over and primed the other half. I’m using Krylon galvanizing primer, it sounds like it will make stuff last. I guess I’m a sucker for marketing. Anyway, it no longer looks terrible, though if you look close you can see some chips.

I’m way beyond color matching :). The bottom left corner was rotted out so I’ve removed the rust, riveted together some aluminum angle iron and riveted that to the side and bolted the contraption to the bottoms. So I had to prime and paint. Rather than try to color match I’ve painted the entire...

Im in the midst is a refurbish of a poorly cared for 2009 E310 and I am trying to figure out how to paint the textured matte grey side shelf edges. They were fairly pitted and I’ve managed to get most of that off, but I’m down to bare metal in spots. Im thinking of trying Krylon textured granite...
