I was lucky enough to find a Redhead Genesis in really good condition. Everything was original, missing Flavorizer bars, rusted burner tubes (expected)
I Dismantled the cook-box, hood and frame, sanded it down, sprayed it with Ultra High heat Semi Gloss.
I wire brushed the burners but they were too rusted so i ended up having a flamethrower from the middle burner (too be replaced this week)
After sanding about 5 of the original grey painted wood slats i got tired and ended up going to Home Depot, bought some pressure treated wood (total cost was around $5.00) and Pecan wood stain with Poly.
I kept the original handle as it looks so much nicer with the holes in the middle than a solid piece of wood
Here are the final images of my RedHead restored (waiting on Rcplane Flavorizers and the burners)
Other little things I did that werent mentioned:
degreaser inside along with Easy Off
degreaser on the red enamel followed by 0000 steel wool
magic eraser on the knobs
This is also my first post ever on this Forum, let me know your thoughts on how it came out!
