I thought weber used gloss for some reason. When I matched my green performer gloss seemed to math the closest. I really liked the way it looked when it was finished. What did you use on your gas kettle Golly?



colour co-ordination looks sweet duke
howd you do the weber badge? paint then dremel? or mask and paint?

Is it done yet? - Is it done yet? What's taking so long? I wanna see it. ;)
2009 Weber Spirit E310, 2013 22.5 OTG and a bunch of Weber stuff
I like my Weber's the same as my Ford's and Harley's, any colour, as long as it's black.

You could polish the steel to look like stainless, then clear it. Would look sweet. Its gonna be a lot of work.
