Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased this Weber on craigslist for $50 and wanted to restore it. I understand that it's a Genesis 2000 but I had a question regarding the color. It has a burnt orange/copper color for its lid. Is this common for this grill in the year it was manufactured? I believe it's from 1996 but I had noticed some people with the red lids. Could it have been switched out at some point? Also if i wanted to paint the lid red would this be possible. I'm still debating on doing that but am anxious to get started on it. I also understand that parts should be plentiful on this if needed but wanted to get some tips on where to begin first on this project for anyone who has restored their older grills. Thanks for your help! I have attached pictures of what it looks like as well as the serial #.
