golfpro2301 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Posted March 22, 2023 Hey Everyone Been a long while since I have been on. If you dont remember I was the fortunate one that bought a 23 KK for $250 and worked with Dennis over multi month period in redoing a log of the grout/tile work to bring it back to life. I have since moved and getting ready to start work on outdoor patio with a corner dedicated to my cookers (23 KK, 250Gallon offset, and a soon to be Brick Pizza oven). Color scheme for the oven, offset, and the countertop will be black with grey pavers/tiles. My KK is currently bronze tile but was thinking of using the KB high heat coating I use on my other smoker builds to paint it black followed by multiple layers high heat clear. Anyone have experience with painting mosaic tiles? I have used this paint with great success on everything else but never tile. Thanks,
5698k Posted March 22, 2023 Report Posted March 22, 2023 My thought would be to paint the other one bronze..Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 1

golfpro2301 Posted March 5, 2024 Author Report Posted March 5, 2024 Finally got around to face loft on KK. I was able to get it over to my house and started prepping the tiles. I had to replace some on stack that I didnt do when rebuilding the grill (see hammered KK thread). Sanded whole thing down with 80 grit to give some texture for paint to stick to. Taped off all SS and sprayed with hvlp. Paint used is charcoal metallic high heat from KBS coatings. Ill hit it with a high heat clear as well tomorrowSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3

MacKenzie Posted March 8, 2024 Report Posted March 8, 2024 WOW, up and running who would ever have thought. Congratulations.
tony b Posted March 8, 2024 Report Posted March 8, 2024 Nice job! One thing, do you plan to put some kind of covering over the KK and countertops? That's a LOT of black out in the sun. I see that thing getting seriously hot in the summer. Probably hot enough to burn someone. My Autumn Nebula gets pretty warm sometimes and it's not nearly as dark as this one.
golfpro2301 Posted March 8, 2024 Author Report Posted March 8, 2024 I will get cover for KK. As far as counter Im building pergola over it soonSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

Dennis Posted March 10, 2024 Report Posted March 10, 2024 Very nice job 👍 and really like the way you fit the KK into the corner of your outdoor kitchen.

While getting a cover for your KK is important to protect it from the weather when it's not in use, it won't solve the problem of the KK getting crazy hot in the sun while you're cooking on it.
tekobo Posted March 11, 2024 Report Posted March 11, 2024 Wow, that looks great! It must have been a lot of work to get that all built but well worth it.
bbqking103 Posted April 6 Report Posted April 6 GolfPro2301, I was wondering if we could get a photo of your rebuild today so that we can see how it's weathered a couple of years under the hot San Diego sun.
