Genesis Platinum B/C


 
I can't get past the plastic look. It ruins it for me with all the plastic. I don't mind putting in the extra work. It's more rewarding for me that way. I'm not bashing on the plastic era Weber's they just aren't for me. I respect other people grill preferences though and most anything with the Weber name.
I'm still not a big fan of most of the Silver B/C grills, although some of the later ones are more attractive. I've become quite attached to my Gold C, despite the plastic tables it's a very hefty and solid grill that I think is quite good looking. I certainly don't mind putting the work in either, just saying that these are easier by comparison.
 
Cody, I believe you found the color gray paint for shelf end caps trim. How are the ones you painted holding up. Did you put that on a keeper or flipper.
I wouldn’t put a painted one on a flipper. Dyed yes. Painted no. It’ll never hold up from a rattle can. Some of the automotive plastic paint would but at an extreme cost. Given the material cost at roughly $75 - I could paint probably 40 end caps.

Yeah, a lot cheaper and easier to just clean them.
 
I was thinking an early Silver B because they look so much like a 1000 except for the plastic tables. I'm sure you could fit the table bracket from a silver b flip up table onto a wood slat table and have it work just the same.
What would be the benefit though vs just doing a 1000 with a deep box 13 bar?

Maybe more parts are available and more easily obtainable for a silver B?
 
Yeah, that one is toast. If the printing is worn away then the porcelain coating went first.
I think it got that way because PO must have rotisserie something contaminating the control panel with grease and never cleaned up after himself and in time the grease ate away at it.
