The kettle climate is getting weird in the Pacific Northwet. After seeing this Blue OTG on CL for a couple weeks I posted the linky here:
http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/trading-post/seattle-cl-buckshot-blue-otg/ since then it has made the rounds on CL, Letgo and Offerup so I gave it one last college try and slipped them another $20 lowball and now I get to RRR a Blue!
Getting started, I break it down and go over it with steel wool, then wipe it down with some lacquer thinner
all kinds of crazing and grate holder spot weld damage as well as the usual socket snaps!
My choice for this color match-
First coat/base layer. I use a brush to apply the paint into the dings. I usually give the large areas a few coats then use fine steel wool to remove the excess, so this is a few day process.
This is a "DU" 2002 OTG. The seller also has a couple other kettles on CL with the same lid rash as the Blue, which leads me to believe they set the lid up on the ground? He seemed to be proud of the turkeys he cooks on the kettles!
Might as well get the Master-Touch lid in shape while I'm at it!
Stay tuned for the transformation. Thanks for looking!
