Thanks to a member here sending me some handles, I decided to do some refinishing today. Thanks again
@smokeyjoe ! They were 2 from a GA grill, and in pretty decent shape. I should have done them at the same time, because they didnt come out as uniform as I would have liked. If your not worried about saving the weber lettering then you can be a little more thorough and they come out really nice.
Basically sanded off most of the old finish, filled in the lettering with black sharpie, then burned them with a torch. Then hit them with a wire brush, sanded them a little and hit them with the brush again. And applied this "barn red" stain. Waited about a minute and wiped it off. They have a blue color too, I'm about to do the one touch plus hamdles one of these days. They looked so good that I went out and scavenged the handles off of my red head too. Probably gonna become wsm handles too. My plans for the 2 from smokeyjoe are to go on the new 22" wsm. I didnt take many pics, I will try to do a better write up when I do the otp if anyone is interested.
I guess I didnt take a pic before sanding off the finish, but one was in perfect shape, one was close.
