Hello Jeffrey,

I am new here also and had pretty much finished restoration on my grill before joining this forum.

I am learning more and more every day thanks to treads like yours.

I painted the entire frame with high heat paint because I figured it would be more consistent looking.

Since you asked, and I am grilling dinner right now, I took some photos with the infrared thermometer:

And the grill is on low/low/low.

If I was grilling something that requires high heat, this frame numbers would probably go higher.

Not sure what the temperature tolerance is of regular spray paint.

For what it’s worth.
 
And for whatever reason, high heat spray pain was in short supply in the beginning of the summer- these were the paints that were available off the shelf from Lowes and Home Depot and I got decent results using them:

The rustoleum 2x Black "Semi-Gloss" is extremely close to the Rustoleum High Heat Ultra Black. The full gloss 2x paint is a bit "glossier" than the High Heat Ultra.

Thanks for the temperature measurements. It appears the lower frame can be painted with regular paint. It would be nice if there was a thermal break between the frame and the firebox
 
Thanks for all the replies, so If I want a flat finish on the cook box I should go with Rustoleum high heat, and for the frame with a glossier finish use high heat ultra?
 
Yes. High Heat regular is a Flat finish. I use it on my rehab cook boxes. I use the ultra on the end caps and frame parts.
 
any suggestions for replacing these plastic inserts for the control panel. I’d rather buy something locally that might work just as well.

I do much of the maintenance/ repair on my truck, as well as my kids vehicles, and the way modern cars are held together with clips, I always need one for replacement.

I bought this set awhile back, and used two small clips on the end of the control panel/ shroud

Not perfect, but for me the price was right and it works sufficiently well.
I think you could buy individual clips from a hardware store, I have seen plastic clips sold at Lowes and Home Depot

The white clips that came with the grill also function as spacers. I don't think any of those generic fasteners would provide that function. However, that is a great set of fasteners for $10.

The clips that held my control panel went missing (not exactly sure how) so long ago I don’t remember what they looked like.

And they aren’t absolutely necessary, right?

The temperature control knobs hold the panel in place.

Because I tore the grill down to do some much needed repair/ refurbishment I decided to put those plastic clips on when I re-assembled because the grill is so pretty now, lol.
 
John: The original clips provide space between the control panel and the grill frame which pushes the frame to the right about 3/16". Without those spacers and screws, the control panel would likely slide around a bit and would probably contact the cook box on the left side. Would it work without the clips and screws? Yes, it probably would but it is not optimal really.
If you omit the original weber clips and just use regular automotive style clips, it would set the control panel about 3/16" further to the left and again but it up against the cook box. It would also misalign the valves with the opening in the control panel by that same 3/16". Again, it would probably work, but is not optimal.

With this information you just provided. I will be going to my hardware bins in the near future and jury rigging alternatives to better align the panel.

Thank you Bruce.

my grill is missing those clips and I am having a hard time getting the white rocker switch to sit directly over the igniter switch. When using the the rocker switch it currently stays depressed because of this misalignment. I am hoping getting those clips will help correct this
 
Jeffrey. replacing the missing clips should get you fixed up on the igniter button issue. $10 is bit steep for them, but I am sure it would be worth it to fix your situation.
