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

[Josh Dekubber]

Other technique I've used to add a little factory looking texture is kind of strange but when I have almost empty high heat spray paint cans I save them for the finish coat because they start to spatter as they get close to running out.

Josh, was that sprayed on sand blasted end caps? That looks great.

Thanks Bruce
It was sprayed on wire wheeled end caps. Im still trying to figure out the best way to reproduce the factory texture.

This is a pic of my green lid time capsule barn find with original paint texture that I'm trying to replicate on my restorations.

3400. Borrowed photo is not of my actual grill. Mine is the exact same series and color but has not been restored yet.

This is one of my restorations! One that took more time than i planned. Personally im not a fan of the glass doors or the grey fake wood but this one turned out ok!

Paul, what is this ?

I think its just excessive paint from spraying

If you get the Steam-N-Chips, then you need these grates:

Pardon Our Interruption...

Is this just the grates or does it include the steam/chip box?

 

[MarkCuda]

Grates only.

I thought the Genesis 1 should get new tube plugs, so Amazon it was.
$7.33 for 8 of them.

I bought these for dirt cheep on a grill rehab contender in Minnesota, at the time I had no idea why I bought them and what I would even put them on, now I know how I'll use them
Moral to the story, don't ever pass up a deal

 

[John-NY]

I think this is everything I used to clean, service, Polish

What do you use the Brake Lube for? And how much Gumout do you spray on the grates?

What do you use the Brake Lube for? And how much Gumout do you spray on the grates?

This is what I used to service and polish my NG valves. Gumout brake and parts cleaner/degreaser. To clean inside the valves and then grease with high temp rated grease.

If you drove all the way to Minnesota to pick those up you did not get a deal, even if a grill came with

I got some of the small stuff back from the Plasti blaster today.

 

[Bruce]

Is that being blasted with plastic beads instead of sand?

Yes, sand would warp the snot out of this little stuff.
The finish is so darn smooth.

 

[Bruce]

GOod to know. I might check with my blaster guy to see if they can do that too.

My guy normally charges $3.00 a minute but when you tip good and are on the same page as him, then it's not 3 bucks a minute
