How many of you guys would do this?
« Reply #-1 on: July 14, 2013, 07:53:38 PM »
Spent most of the day yesterday, cleaning (scrubbing down) and painting this old grill. Bought it last year at WallyWorld just to get me through the summer. Kinda fell in love with it and thought a good cleaning and a paint job was the least I could do. Cost me about $25.00 for everything I fixed, cleaned and painted. I could have bought a new one on sale right now for $70.00. But, it was still a fun job and a good day!

I think most of us are a little sick/twisted about our grills and cooking gear. That thing looks brand new!

Nice job! Does the handle on the right adjust the charcoal level? I like that!

We all reach an age where we can't throw away old grills or old women.  Dee

dawrecknq - what did you use for paint? My 500X has not had the easiest life and needs some rehabilitation...

Thanks!

Sounds like you had more "fun" cleaning it than you would have buying a new one.  :D

It looks brand new. NICE JOB!

I'd do that in a heartbeat, but then again I spent $55+ to refurbish our Weber Kettle instead of buying a new one for $89.
