STEP 5:
I was finally ready to paint. The product contains real stainless steel pigment, so that’s pretty cool! It’s a very stinky paint, so if you can’t haul your fridge outside, make sure you wear a respirator.
STEP 6:
I started with my brush and trimming out all the smaller area around the open spaces.
STEP 7:
After attempting to just cut the paint, I decided to tape it off first and then paint the smaller areas. I wanted to see how meticulous I could get with this paint job; I didn’t want it looking sloppy.
STEP 8:
After 2 coats, this is what the fridge looked like. Since the instructions said it was an “easy single application” I was shocked to see it look this patchy. I decided to switch from a foam roller, like the instructions called for, to a regular roller. After I made this switch, the paint went on much better. Dry times also took awhile, so take that into account.
STEP 9:
After about 4 coats, I put all the hardware back on, put the doors back on the fridge, and got ready to step back and take in handy work!
STEP 10:
I put the handles back on and it looked great!
