Ok so I've been working on my redheads triangle, it doesnt want to be beautiful. At what point do I just buy a new one? I understand that the old ones are better thicker, whatever. Is it really that big of a deal or am I stressing out over nothing? Same can be said about her legs. BTW, I'm talking about a Weber kettle im working on!

Ordered one for my green "B" code & found out that the new ones are a silver powder coat, instead of chrome plated. Now I'm having to find a donor with a good triangle to keep it period correct, then the donor gets the powder coat triangle.

I think it's what YOU want.
I have a 3 herring bone 2012 OTG that is painted.....
But it's OK.
I wish it was chrome....must have been a Weber cost-cutting measure.
You could paint yours if the chrome is shot.

Do you have a boneyard of extra parts to do a swap?? ... A lot of us do, but I'm guessing you may not.
I recommend cleaning them up the best you can / want ... Then just live with it.
I did this to my first 18" kettle rescue. Triangle is different from an 18 to a 22, but the legs are the same.

Quote from: brewtownbeatdown on August 04, 2016, 04:58:31 PMIs that what that is? I got a red mbh with a "new, replaced" triangle, and it looks powder coated. I just cleaned up an original brownie mbh triangle and it just shines like a diamond. Im going to replace it with another if that's the case. I don't like the look. Dumb reason to do that? Maybe. Do I want it correct? Yes. Thanks, Brewtown.

Quote from: Travis on August 04, 2016, 06:20:30 PMI've been able to salvage almost every triangle I've done to a jewel-like finish. Unfortunately, this one was bent everywhere & had lots of flaky rust. Guessing when shoveling, the seller bumped it quite a few times. Also when they salted the driveway, they probably threw against the triangle.
