Genesis Platinum B/C

[Samuel]

After a once over soaking in dawn and bleach. Still have not cleaned the SS inserts yet.

 

[Samuel]

After washing the shelves I was left with a white haze on SS. Tried some Stainless-Steel cleaner spray, but it did not clear it up. I suppose only BKF will resolve my issue.

Try simple white vinegar

Do you all think soaking these trim caps in bleach will bring them back to life?

I think the comments are true that with enough time and effort you can bring those back. If that grill were other than a Platinum, I would suggest trying the Rit Dye technique and making them black.

If somehow you can't make them look good by cleaning, you could also paint them the light gray that I believe is called "Stone gray." Going with an almost identical color will buy you time before you would have to repaint. To me, it would be worth it if you can't get the stains and fade cleaned and shined up.

Bleach and dawn works best for a prolonged soak. I’d be careful with the SS insert tables. But the plastic end caps can handle a few days of soaking.

I think Samuel is done with the tables since they are already back on the grill. I honestly don't think the stainless inserts would have suffered from a thorough soak and the way to do it would have been to use bkf on those inserts while they were soaking them rinse when done.

Added some black trim and deleted the Side Burner.

I only wonder what they’re held on with and if bleach would degrade it. I wouldn’t think so. I’d rather find out on an old, junk one.

I've been wondering how those panels are attached too, thinking I could restore them more easily separate from the table. I don't have any extras to try, thinking I'm short one already. I bet somebody here has separated one or found it that way.

I am pretty certain it would take some extreme patience and skill to separate them without mangling the SS piece. I am guessing the adhesive is some pretty good stuff. Unless a guy could get a piece of fishing line under an edge and saw it off. I would say piano wire, but I think that would damage the plastic. Unless I come across one that is extremely wrecked, I won't be trying it out lol

Debating on a Colored lid. I have a Extra Geen, Red, and Burgundy. I always told myself I would use the Burgundy if I found a second platinum grill, but now I have a red and that is very intriguing.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I think the iconic red head on an SS Platinum would look pretty dang nice. I personally like the grey ends on the platinum's. Unless you go with black for the lid end caps, handles, knobs and igniter button. Just my personal opinion though.

[Samuel]

Yes, Cody and Bruce, I am thinking red too. Also contemplating a gray handle as you pictured there Bruce, with stainless-steel mounting bolts for the handle. I thought black end caps to match the trim I just added. I do have the gray handle.

 

[Samuel]

Besides yours Bruce, this one also inspired me.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I kind of like those blacked out wheels!

 

[Samuel]

I like that idea. I have these Weber wheels in black.

 

[Samuel]

Cody,
Here are the black wheels in all their glory. I think they will look more appealing once I add the red lid with black end caps.

 

[Cody Bratton]

I have a couple of those sets with that center cap. I have thought about matching the center cap to the lid... or on a platinum, a silver center star would look kind of nice.
