I wouldn't do another thing to it. Looks good as is. Enjoy using it!

Cool part is that it came with that condiment rack and a Weber rib / roast rack also!
This is also the 4th condiment rack I have seen here.. and I now have 2 out of the 4 ;-)
I just cleaned the wood handle and hit it with teak oil.

It looks about perfect right there. I have a faded black MBH that looks just like yours and it's my go-to cooker! I did a quick scrape / cleanup.. cleaned the legs, triangle and ash pan and went straight to cooking. There is a good grill cleanup page here at WKC. Embrace the patina & enjoy!

Beautiful! I'd take it off your hands in a second.

Please don't paint the triangle. You'll be amazed how easy it is to clean the rust off that triangle with some steel wool. Great find! Love the faded blacks.

[vwengguy]

I'll do my best, but there is already silver paint on the triangle :-(
I guess I'm lucky, that looks like the only thing that has been worked on or touched up.

I shouldn't have said that anyway. Your grill, do what you want 

[Bertman]

Agreed. Keep it clean and original. Love the fade. That's a real beauty!

Looks great! The teak oil was a good idea. You could clean/polish the triangle and legs a bit, but I wouldn't do anything else to the porcelain.

No reason to overhaul a beautiful cooker.

That kettle looks terrific right now! I would not change a thing.

@vwengguy  -  Wow! The patina on that handle is amazing.  Only the second one I have seen that has that tiger stripe fade pattern on the handle.  It is definitely worthy and has paid it's dues to be featured in the Patina Appreciation Society - Weathered Warrior thread.  Please add that photo to the thread.

I think the faded black MBH is my second favorite behind a glorious redhead.
