I will just leave this here


 
If any of you recall me posting this, well I was biding my time Because it’s listed at $190. Today I finally reached out. He said it’s refurbished and he cooked on it twice post refurbishing it. I asked if the lid was teal. His response was “Ford Blue” I asked if he painted the lid… and he’s now radio silent.

Well, I am technically color blind, but I honestly would be surprised to find out for sure that the lid was painted. That finish looks way to nice for a simple rattle can job.
 
no doubt. But it’s for sure not a color Weber ever used on Genesis grills. And it sure looks Ford Blue to me since I’ve painted a few engine blocks ford blue from a rattle can.
 
I see. But I have never been real confident in the true color from photos. Lighting, camera settings, angle and other factors can make colors look quite different.
 
Wow. GOod call. And that is a nice paint job if it is sprayed on. Do you think that was some kind of professional automotive paint or just a rattle can?
 
I have used Ford Blue high heat on Q grills. I at least give credit for what appears to be a nice paint job and doing it in an appealing color. Might be an idea for a hopelessly faded black hood for a personal use grill.
 
I'm going to scrap this red lid unless someone near me wants to come and get it before I do. It's got a chip on top as well as some scratches, so it's not something I see myself using for any purpose in the future.IMG_20250622_215935994.jpgIMG_20250622_215943340.jpg
 
Here’s how I replace the cookbox bolt cross member.
I carefully cut just short of the welds on the top and bottoms. Then angle the Final Cut to leave a short little stub. Then I cut at about a 45 on each side and the remaining falls right off since there’s nothing left to hold it on, or you can fold it back and forth with a pliers and it pops off. Then a quick grind of the welds on the top, and a little clean up in the bottom welds.
That remaining lower edge on the weld gives you an extra set of hands, a couple quick hits with the cut off wheel and it’s ready to tend to the bare metal, and weld. I use a weld thru primer called copper weld. What I like about it is you can wipe it right off areas after welding but it will help protect the metal that you can’t get paint on.

Once that
