Hello all.......So after many months of clean finger nails I have stacked up 4 1000's almost by accident. I quickly got the Weberitis vaccine and I am holding at 4 grills buy might need a booster soon as I find myself checking CL and FB daily now. I used to focus mainly on Silver B's and I didnt realize how smart that was. Now that I am dinking around w 1000's I see they have a whole set of issues that come along with being old and cooked in a lot. All that said I have figured out the frame issues and the thin cook boxes but painting end caps and cook boxes that have missing paint or big chips is still my issue. I did find a sand blaster so that is an option......but it cost me $30 or so for a cook box and end caps and they blast my aluminum a bit thinner........or I could just paint right over the bare spots and get shiny blotches in my work 
.......so todays question is......if I dont want to sand blast.....and I dont want to wire wheel to bare aluminum.......has anyone figured out a way to paint over the grill parts that have patches of missing paint and it not turn out shiny and or blotchy???? As some of u may remember I was a big fan of rolling on 2 coats and creating a heavy texture to mask said blotchy areas......but for me....best case scenario would be like a high heat primer for just the patchy spots....followed by rolling on 2 thin coats of Rustoleum High Heat satin from the Qt. Is anyone using a high heat primer?
