Well I bet this got your attention huh. But seriously folks....ya gotta pay to play. My hobby spend is getting up there a bit.....I mean it all started as a greenhorn rookie with some black High Heat that wasnt the Ultra.....that was my first lesson that the Ultra was the gloss version. But since then I have purchased a heck of a lot of crap for this hobby.....its really starting to add up as I dropped another hundo today!
This is all of the same stuff you guys buy....and I know u feel it too. I only make on average between 125 and 175 per flip so I have to get busy to pay for my supplies.
3 HF grinders
prob 20 HF brush cups of diff types
plenty of steel wool
crazy amounts of High Heat Ultra....reg black paint.....quarts of high heat......rollers treys and brushes.....
numerous scrapers putty knives etc
100's of razor blades...nothin like a fresh blade
copious amounts of Simple Green....Mr Clean.....etc
rags rags and more rags
SS hardware and other misc hardware
Crazy binge spending on clearance grates and burners
Binge spending buying out a resto guy that was calling it quits
and on and on and on on on on .................
Not too mention my constant spending on Amazon buying burners bars and ignitors...
Anyway......gotta pay to play blah blah blah
So today I found the Krylon High Heat Max for the first time.....I might be late to the Krylan party but I am gunna give it a try. Good for up to 1200 degrees and dries in 10 min....sounds good to me. I have never been happy with how High Heat Ultra adheres to the grill frames...it is great on a cook box but not on the frames for me.
I also found these rotary scrubbers today. They insert into a drill then you just go to town. I purchased these to see if they might replace some of the steel wool scrubbing under the hood and elsewhere. Will it scratch? I will let u know. I am changing my mindset on flips anyway....I am only doing a resto for a true classic...other grills will just be freshened up.....so if under a hood is spotless but with no mirror finish that might be ok for a flipper. The last grill I sold was a 300 series with knobs on the side...the hood had a black liner. I had the buyer stop by to look at the grill and tell me how he wanted it finished. He asked if I could clean under the hood which I normally always do but w this particular grill and this liner the stuff was really stuck on there....like even the sharpest razor barely got the job done.....so I just took a grinder and a cup brush to it and I was shocked how much punishment the liner could take.....and how nice it looked when I was done. In the end the customer thanked me for cleaning the underside of the hood. It only took me maybe 5 minutes cleaning it that way.
