My 2002 Weber Gold Silver C is 8 years old & is need of getting some updating soon...... or replacement 
..... She still grills 3+- nights a week for me, but has got some pretty serious rust on the top left side of the frame that has been evident for about 2 years & a couple other spots, thought not as bad...... Otherwise, the parts that are commonly replaced & available are in pretty good shape & function properly, or can be found easily & have been replaced..... I think she could be revamped to serve another 3-5 years or s..... I did contact Weber & the gal I spoke with said the frame replacement part is no longer available.... SO... I can get the rusted area cut out & a new part welded in, OR.... Do it the inexpensive route & do it myself, without having to disassemble all the burners & all that shit & take it to a welding shop..... My dad was one of the masters of cheap..... He had a Craftsman $100 push lawnmower that lasted 20 years by using pieces of metal & screws to hold the rusted out frame together... Serious!... I dont even know why it had a bagger?..... all the grass clippings just flew out of the rust holes that were not patched up with metal & screws.... He claims it was the first mulcher mower... He would probably go to jail nowadays for letting his kid (ME) use that POS & the risk it posed on kids...... 
..... True Story Though.
Anyways!...... If I am going to go through & pretty much disassemble the whole thing & have it all apart & put it all back together with some new parts that could use or need replacement..... How about some custom paint on the frame?..... I thought sanding & grind down the frame in spots that needed it & spray it with primer & use a Hammerite type paint from the can?
1) Since this will most likely be a kinda "Frame Off" rebuild.... Custom Paint colors for the frame is something I am thinking about
.... Red, Light Blue, Yellow, Green, Camo?????
2) Any suggestions on the best way to get the Stainless Hood to shine like new again (Buffing wheel?)....
3) Anything else...?.... I am open to all suggestions.... Have never seen one with a Pink frames... but...
Here she is..... It's hard to distinguish some of the frame areas from the components that are bolted on...... I think a contrast frame color may look interesting??
Here is the BAD rusted spot in the frame between the grill & left table.....
The lower part of the frame.....
The Control Panel Area..... The visible parts can be replaced....
