great customs that he is working on, or soon to be.

When they do the coating, can they fill in the little "cancer" chips I call them where previous coating has chipped off and leaving rust? The reason I ask is that I was just thinking this weekend of contacting them about my 12 year old 18" smokey mountain. It has some road rash from a pretty bad spill that it took while cooking in the parking lot of my old office. I'm thinking that a nice yellow or turquois WSM would look really cool. Maybe order a new current gen leg kit for it as well???

They remove all pervious enamel in a media blast. So if the grill has some thin spots from rust it may blast through.
But yea any chips will be gone since all enamel is stripped.

I got a quote from him last year, but didn't pull the trigger for the price.  He told me that if the grill was brand new and didn't require sandblasting the surface a GA would be $200 plus shipping both ways.  A brand new 22" would be $350 plus shipping both ways.  Not cheap, but they sure do look nice.  These prices were just for exterior, no interior customization.

I know the yellow and red colors enameled by IPE turn color when hot just like the original colors from Weber do.

I really wanna see what IPE can do with a Ranch Kettle. I'd gladly try to do that myself, but right now I don't have the funds to ship one of those monsters halfway across the country and back, much less pay for the enamel job lol.

I was quoted 250 for a Smokey Joe last week. I saw someone post prices for kettles they had done about a year ago but It seems they have gone up.

and Jeff has a couple of recent works that he would part with if anyone is interested.

$795 for the 26er, $595 for the 14" WSM.

where is this shop located? The only grill I want to add to my collection is the meat cut grill. Even he does custom orders.....I may have to start saving for one of my old black kettles to get a facelift.
