Have more red is always good for me, and ss performers are hard to find over here in oz, let alone red. Recently I happened to get the opportunity to trade for an red ssp. It arrived on Thursday after a trip of epic proportions.
It was of course dirty and in a million pieces due to shipping, but now it's clean, detailed and rebuilt.
Who needs a new limited edition red anyway lol.
Huge thanks to Bear, not sure how to tag him.

Probably never looked cleaner. Well done @Antisven84 , happy with the trade myself.
I'm always picky about who I trade to, you're a true Grillfella and I know that you will treat it with respect. Looks fabulous!

Finishing touch number 1 is prepped for painting, matching the red.
Matching cedar badge and table handle have been ordered from Brian.

Those weren't all for me, and since I decided on red, I need more cedar to pimp them out

Tore the badge off and matched it at work today, I'll give the exposed metal a polish later on when it hardens up more.

All of this .. outstanding. No lie --- these are surely some of the finest Weber examples extant. Simple, clean, right.
That blue logo, was that a previous iteration you'd done? Looks quirky and neat in its own way.

That was bears addition to it during its time with him. I've had this for all of a week and have had something new happen in regards to it each day.
Last Thursday- unbox the ssp
Friday- clean up the framework, tabletop etc
Saturday- rebuild the framework
Sunday- clean and detail bowl and related parts
Monday- gas bottle delivered, prepped for paint at work
Tuesday- have tank painted, baked and taken home
Wednesday- 3/8lh to pol adaptor elbow for gas got delivered, badge removed from ssp
Thursday- badge stripped, prepped, painted, raised parts razored and polished back with 2000 grit, reinstalled.
I guess scotchbrite and stainless polishing is next on the list
