Just finished my customization! (Be kind pls!)
« on: April 14, 2015, 04:28:46 PM »
Put the 22.5" Weber back together today after my new handles came in and the paint had dried! Super excited and happy with the finished product. I wasn't sure if the handles would be stainable or not, but they are, so I'll most likely stain them a bit darker. The flat black turned out a bit more gray, but still happy with it.

Pics?  Any self customization is a work of art.

Your hard work and your grill..if you like it ...thats what counts.

That's groovy.....I thought about maybe doing one entirely black....everything, handles, whitewalls....almost like yours.....looks cool & stealthy, man !!!!

That's a really smart look there. I love the subtle approach. Well done!

It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

I think it looks terrific, but I have been known to be partial to black kettles!

Yeah.. real nice..different.

The rustoleum black flat matte does have a grey shade to the black.

You can try the semingloss on your next paintbjob..its a truer black

Lowes may still have the 25% more free cans.. stock up on thise bonus size cans...thenhome depots around me already sold out but lowes had a few boxes left...grabbed a few

I think it's sweet, man! I like the greyish tint, and toolhead is right a little accent would make the whole thing really pop.
