This post will let you see how easy it is with a little planning and elbow grease to paint a white refrigerator in a stainless steel finish using paint.
Can you paint a stainless steel fridge.
If you are looking for a super cheap way to renovate your fridge this is not your best option.

If your appliances work just fine but are simply outdated paint on stainless steel finishes can give you a beautiful and sophisticated look for a fraction of the cost of buying new.
In fact you can even get a high quality easy to use kit that includes all of the special paint and brushes you need including a clear top coat finish to give your fridge a new finished look that doesn t show fingerprints or chip.

Chalk paint is the best.
Less than 100 stainless steel paint does cost more that chalkboard paint or other types for that matter.
