Here is my 2025 grill that i will be restoring, Genesis 1

[MarkCuda]

Bruce, after I clean the white walls, I may not need new ones from the guy in Canada

 

[Steve Hoch]

I ran into that problem last summer where the frame tab broke it's weld. At least you can fix that yourself.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Hard to find those wheels in that good of shape any more.

Even the thinner white walls in decent shape are hard to come by.

 

[Bruce]

I don't think you need new inserts.
And, yah, the frame welds won't be an issue.

 

[MarkCuda]

Both white walls are slippery smooth as apposed to the rough chalky surface so many end up after being in the sun for so long.

 

[MarkCuda]

No one can accuse me of not providing enough pictures

 

[Jon Tofte]

I often spray paint my wheels with Krylon Fusion and spray paint the inserts white (after lightly sanding that you won’t need to do).

This is an original with missing Bs that I used on the back:


This is the front one with a new insert:

 

[Bruce]

Jon, do you see any reason that the Rustoleum 2X semi-gloss black wouldn't be just as effective as the Krylon?

 

[MarkCuda]

Very nice, Jon, for the first time I may paint the actual surface that the wheels travel on

 

[Jon Tofte]

Jon, do you see any reason that the Rustoleum 2X semi-gloss black wouldn't be just as effective as the Krylon?

It is probably just as good. I have always had good luck with Krylon Fusion on plastic so I am loyal to it.

 

[MarkCuda]

Jon, did you just get gloss black then ?

 

[Jon Tofte]

No, I used their satin which as you can see still has plenty of sheen.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Jon, do you see any reason that the Rustoleum 2X semi-gloss black wouldn't be just as effective as the Krylon?

That’s the paint you use on the legs and lower portions of your rehabs, correct?

 

[MarkCuda]

Ok, got the wheels cleaned up but not painted
One white wall is bad and I could still use it but for a museum piece, I better not
The problem I see is getting the 6 stubs on the white wall back into the holes on the wheel.
If I end up using one white wall, I think I'll not put it into the 6 holes and then just glue it to the wheel
Jury is still out, just like it is for the New York subway strangulation guy.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I picked this satin black up off amazon. I haven't tried it out on anything yet.

I also have really good luck with Krylon brand paint.

 

[MarkCuda]

What plastic items on our grills are close to needing 200 degrees paint ?

Yeah I'm not sure. Thought it might come in handy so I added it to my paint supply collection LOL

 

[MarkCuda]

Yup, I got quite a supply of different paints

 

[MarkCuda]

Got the wheels painted semi gloss, turned out good, I'm happy.
1 white wall is beautiful, the other, not so.

 

[Bruce]

Both look really good for that generation of Genesis.
