Brian, let me know how that paint works. I like the matte finish on the lid end caps and firebox though. I didn't do all of that, Bruce, but if it keeps fading away, I might give it a shot. Thanks for all of your help on this project!
I'm just about all done with the restoration. Just waiting on some small parts from Weber. Also, I had a question about whether or not there is supposed to be a nut on the bottom bolt (the one connected to the lever thing with the plastic cap around it) that's connected to the propane scale. Mine keeps falling off, and I don't remember if I took a nut off there to begin with. The top two have 1/4"-20 wing nuts, but this one seems smaller.
