I received an email from someone named Lori that has completed a Genesis 1000 redhead restoration using info from all of you in this forum! I think she did a great job!
"I’m really glad I stumbled on your website. I appreciate all the time you spend helping to get these awesome grills up and working again. It’s really not hard at all once you know what to do, just time consuming."
Keep up the good work, folks!
One tidbit I'll share about her emblem restoration. She wrote me asking about emblem removal because she couldn't get it off. Here's what she did:
"I didn’t end up getting the emblem off. I tried for quite a while and then realized it just wasn’t worth all the energy and frustration. So I got my blue painters tape and taped around it and then I taped thin cardboard on all sides of the emblem just a fraction away from the blue tape so the spray paint could get to the outside edges of the emblem. I protected the rest of the cover with newspaper in case the wind blew as I was spraying. I gave it a light mist and when it was dry I sanded the top of the emblem with the cardboard still in place to avoid scratching the cover. It worked great and was much easier than fussing with those clips."
Best,
Chris
