I don't mind the black at all. The only reservation I have of changing the color of the paint so drastically is that if (when) the spray paint starts to wear off, chip, scratch or whatever, it will be very noticeable. If you use a color that is close to the original underneath, a little wear and tear doesn't show up for a long time. These high heat paints that we are using are not nearly as durable as the original powder coat or whatever it is that Weber used and will begin to wear much sooner, no matter how well cared for the grill is.
