Okay -- thanks to you both I'm starting to get it.
My Platinum isn't anywhere near as pretty as Ron's -- a little inspiration as I start my kettle cleaning this weekend.  Thanks very much!

This is what it looked like when i bought it, i replaced table and while the table was off i removed the end pieces, cleaned the frame and end pieces and spray painted both and scrubbed the kettle and then reassembled it.

Sounds like a good plan for me -- thanks for the encouraging words. I tried to find the metal performer table but didn't see it on the Webercsite -- will try again when I have more time. Also hope to get a wooden handle and rollers.  Also wondering if you can buy those plastic-y end pieces from weber; one section of the end piece under the kettle is partly melted!

The endcap is gonna be tough. Been discontinued for a while. Try a post in the buy/sell section here. As for the table, they are brand new this year. Probably going to have to call weber to get one.

Will do.  For my WTB post, what do I call that piece so folks know what I'm looking for?  It's the light-colored plastic piece spanning between, and just above, the wheels on the Platinum.  But that seems a bit long-winded for a WTB header.
