Does the fact that the refrigerator has a textured surface, which I imagine is plastic, make a difference? To me that means you wouldn't use metal paint.

Don't think I can paint the ice maker parts since they plastic. I think it will still look OK leaving them white since the seals and grill on the bottoms are white. Since I am moving I am thinking I can spray paint it outside before moving it inside to the kitchen. Any thoughts on this or is a brush better? So excited to do this.

We got all stainless steel and now the fridge looks so out of place. I have two questions. Did you do anything special with the handle or just paint it as normal (does it need to be removed and put back on)? And, how did you keep the rubber seal from getting painted up?

Yours looks beautiful & if you hadn't told me, I would have never known! And seriously, $14!? That may just be the best part of all. Thanks for sharing the break down & how-to.
