I picked up this Q1200 a while back for $12. I decided to restore it to donate to a young family I know that is in need of a grill for their condo. I gave it a thorough cleaning and a full paint job on the outside of the grill and repainted the gray cart black. @Samuel just put a nice set of Weber 6-in wheels on his cart like this which inspired me to do something similar. Except I don't have any nice Weber 6 inch wheels and I don't want to use up any of my nice 8 inch white wall Weber Wheels. So I removed the gray moon style hub caps which I don't care for. I decided to mask them off and paint White Walls on them last night and then today painted the black Weber lettering by hand. I originally wasn't going to do a regulator delete on this one but I decided I'm going to do that tonight before I deliver it.

Bless you, Josh. We need more charitable people like you in the world!

Kind of a downer, but reality: my first Q I bought from an apartment dweller who bought it and then found out that his apartment building didn't allow him to have one. Unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly common here in SoCal. I hope the Q is cool with the condo powers that be.

It's definitely getting to be that way in Washington also. He tells me his condo is barbecue friendly. I painted it all black just in case it needs to be a little bit inconspicuous.
 
So, Josh,
Did you say you got the top plastic part of the Q cart to look that black with a propane torch without any paint, I can see you painted the metal legs black, but I was just referring to the top of the cart which looks jet black and shiny.

Damn Josh. That’s a nice looking rehab to donate. I hope you’re well appreciated for what you do! That looks great! I’m fond of your willingness to do that for others…

What did you do to the wheels?

I took off the ugly gray moon style hub caps and masking taped them off and painted the white walls last night. Today I painted the the black Weber lettering by hand.
