So I've always wanted stainless steel appliances, but let's face it, if I could afford those, I certainly wouldn't be living in this crummy appartment. The local Home Depot had what seemed to be a miraculous product on hand: Stainless Steel Appliance Paint! YAY!
Here is what my stained, 1970's fridge looked like before:
I used a couple of cans of this stuff:
And this is the disaster I came up with:
It looks blotchy and spray painted, not at all like the real deal... Lesson learned: there's a reason why those sleek stainless appliances cost a fortune, and this paint only costs $6 a can. This fridge is so ugly that it cuts my appetite. Fine, a total of $12 for a great diet plan... not so bad.
C'est vrai qu'il est très très laid ton frigo. Je me faisais justement la réflexion hier - enfin, ce matin...
ReplyDeleteLauren at Pure Style Home used chalkboard paint when she had the same issue with the spray paint. It turned out great, you may want to consider that option.
