Saw this for possible faded grill help

Do you mean another thin coat of Mineral oil?

I think he meant water 1st, then the oil

For my offset smoker, which is more of a matte finish I use food grade mineral oil. It is used in food processing plants all over the country to service, clean and protect metal. It is safe to be around food and the result is spectacular. Wipe everything down using a Scott's paper shop cloth with just plain water. Once it dries go over it with a thin coat of food grade mineral oil.

That’s what I will do with my new Spider Huntsman which is similar in construction:



I am hoping this product will bring some positive results for faded gas grill hoods and kettles. My Weber Flat Top will make a great test case:

It would be nice to send those flat top lids to have the porcelain redone. I know it's not cheap but I don't think anything else is going to fix that.

Off subject. I still think that Huntsman looks like yu have to be Catholic to cook on it (on your knees)

No doubt about that, but not in my budget. I know Jeff at IPC would make it better than new, but it is going to be a cooker - not a museum piece. In any case, it will be an interesting test!

Just for comparison, back in January I did one half with Pam and some black trim restorer. It made a pretty big difference, and although some fade has returned many months later (with no new treatments) it still looks better.



I am hoping this “Pimp Your Grill” stuff will do a little more - and last longer.

EdYoungs in Williamsville NY has recently listed two new SilverB black lids on their site for a little over $100 each.
Probably one of the best fixes for Weber fade !?

Looks like the very dark gray vs. black. One of my first restores had the mica hood. I believe it was a special color for Target.

I sold a red one for $30 a few years ago to a guy in Alabama! I was going to visit that area so, we met not too far from his place I should have gotten more for it but, I wasn’t going to store a bunch of lids so, it was out of my garage and to someone that would get use from it. I’ve got some silver B parts that might ba available for shipping and packaging! I’ve got a manifold and I’m pretty sure some burners maybe some other bits but, not a lot.
