Title: Platinum upgrade
Post by: 1911Ron on April 26, 2015, 02:35:39 PM
I have had this Blue Platinum for some time and love the table on it, but it was sun faded and the table is prone to breaking as it gets more brittle (my Redhead Platinum has a broken table) over time.   I bit the bullet and ordered a new table from Weber along with the leg caps and got them rather quick, about a week.

I took the old table off and noticed how faded the frame looked so i disassembled the whole thing, cleaned everything up and shot it with Rustolium Glossy black. I wondered how i was going to match the table to the frame end pieces and i noticed that the newer Performers had black end pieces, so i shot those black as well.

and with the CB Roti!

At some point i will take the kettle off and give it a good cleaning, but that's for another day!

Oh man, now you've done it...I NEED one of these!!!

A dedicated roti set-up would certainly get some use here.

Nice upgrades!!!
