That's nice, is the frame green as well?

I also like the white caps on the wheels!

I once tried to do a full color badge with white lettering and border and a red kettle:
It was a LOT of work for this non-artist to get the white part as close to right as I could. I decided then that going forward I would just do the red kettle since, in general, the white isn't that much of a difference from the bright metal. On this Skyline the white did tie in nicely with the white stripes on the Skyline hood.

I think in that case with a skyline, the extra work was worth it and the outcome looks great!
That first one on the left is stunning.
Beautiful. As always.
That looks really sharp with the border faded out.
Here's mine. It's my first one. I used 4 different sandpaper grades and finished with 600 grit. It's interesting that the second registered trademark is lower than the rest of the raised logo. I stopped at the first registered trade mark. I went traditional with a black background.
It should be reinstalled by tomorrow.

I wasn't planning but does it make a noticable difference over a few years? I'm curious, did Weber coat them? I can look for a high heat clear coat at the hardware store. Thanks.

I don't think they were clear coated originally. I end up doing them both ways mostly depending on the mood I'm in. I like the way they look either way.

This thread reminds me of the late Rich Dahl's Weber crock pot. I sure miss him and sharing our Camp Chef pellet grill experiences as well as our Weber sidewinder experiences! I hope Barb is doing well.

How could I forget to put this in here!
I have come to like the heavier scratches making it look like more of a brushed look. I finished them with 40 grit on a hard block. The final sanding going the length of the badge a few times in one direction versus the back and forth to level it out.

The silver SSP frame is a really good look.
I may have to borrow that on a resto one of
these days.
