Skyline Lid

[DannyG]

This is the best its gonna get I think ...

For a Skyline lid it looks pretty good, nice job. Unfortunately these same lids almost always have fade on the top of them.

Yea its not horrible but definitely not perfect

If it makes you feel any better, your lid is in nicer shape than mine is. I would use my Skyline as a daily driver, but the lid isn't nice enough to do a major restoration of the whole grill.

I'm about to go out and work on my skyline lid and see how it comes out. I have some ideas of things to try. We'll see how it goes.

 

[DannyG]

Lid is complete now. Used that CRC Food Grade Silicone in it. Its a little streaky but i did it on the control panel the other day and kept wiping it over a day and it looks way better now.

 

[Steve Hoch]

Did you have those end caps powder coated?

 

[LMichaels]

Yep, it does what wiping oil on it does. Doesn't "solve" it but it sure looks better than nothing at all. I did something like it when I was selling a black Genesis B a while back

Those were the caps i coated and then sanded and painted cause i didnt like how they turned out.

Yea I thought the silicone might last longer then the cooking spray ... who knows

 

[Samuel]

Excellent work Danny!

They get dirty pretty quick outside, it won't matter.

Also, the badge I high heated and high heat cleared. And the handle is the grey one I sprayed with SEM trim black.

Yea figured Id give it a shot to see how it would hold up. On the stainless lid I have on my 3000 I spray it with avocado oil spray and it make it look great.

It should. After all silicone has to get awfully hot to burn away. Get it hot a few times and see what happens

Didn't you get that black durawood grill to use on this one?

 

[DannyG]

Didn't you get that black durawood grill to use on this one?

Thats the plan

 

[DannyG]

Didn't you get that black durawood grill to use on this one?

But I sprayed that handle before i got that black durawood so i figure I should use the one i sprayed and see how it holds up

Why not.

 

[DannyG]

Why not.

Yea if it holds up good it might be a good alternative option for color changing plastics vs dying.
