WHAT: This HOW TO will show you how I paint my Genesis grill Cook Boxes. This does not cover prepping the cook box or anything like that. That is a whole other discussion. I am just showing you the method I use to actually paint the cook boxes.
WHY: I have painted well over 100 Genesis cook boxes over the past 6 years or so and this is the method I developed that is the quickest and most effective.
What You Need:
o A cleaned and prepped Genesis cook box.
o A can of Rustoleum High Heat or similar spec'ed spray paint.
o A 5 gallon bucket
o A rectangular piece of paneling or similar thin plywood that is approx 3/4" to 1" wider each way than the actual bottom hole on the Genesis cook box that will be painting. It will be different, for Genesis 1000 deep boxes, Silver B, E3xx and so on.
o Something to stand the grill on up off the ground.
o For best results, read and follow painting recommendations for the paint you are using and make sure it is not a windy day.
o Paint rated filter mask (Do what I say, not what I do).
General Overview: First, place the cook box on the stand and paint the upper ridge of the cook box from the outside in. Keep in mind the direction of the over spray so that it isn't hitting the inside of the cook box directly. After that, remove the cook box, then place the 5 gallon bucket upside down on the stand, then place the rectangular board over that upside down. Center it so the board is fully under the cut out for the grease tray in the bottom of the cook box. Now paint the rest of the outside of the cook box without worry of getting any inside. Watch the video provided for more detail.
