Letter 25015

Refinishing appliances  

+++ Hi, We just purchased a new home, the counters are brown and black granite, the oven, range and dishwasher are black. My refrigerator is screamingly white. Can it be painted and, if so, what do I use. Thanks, Jackie Gehring Retired - Carrollton, Texas ++++ I want to paint my side by side refrig to black to match everything else in kitchen.

Ed. note: letter 21894 claims a successful procedure for painting of a refrigerator in a stainless steel color; letter 26739 reminds you to lightly sandpaper it for good adhesion. Good luck!

Ranges and ovens may be a different story due to high temperatures. These many not actually have been painted, but porcelain enamelled (which is more like glass making than painting). So it's probably better to paint dishwashers and refrigerators to match ovens and ranges than vice versa :-)
