Q. 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,

Q. I want to paint my side by side refrigerator black to match everything else in the kitchen.

A. Hi.
Topic 21894 claims a successful procedure for painting of a refrigerator in a stainless steel color; topic 26739 reminds you to lightly sandpaper it for good adhesion. Good luck!

Ranges and ovens may be a different story due to high temperatures. Some areas on these are not actually painted, but porcelain enameled (which is more like a melted glass coating than paint). So it's probably better to paint dishwashers and refrigerators to match ovens and ranges than vice versa :-)
Luck & Regards,
