Luckily the fridge is the only appliance that can be painted with regular paints, unlike an oven or microwave.

To begin, clean the surface of the entire. Use a detergent, such as TSP, and water and then rinse with clear water. If there is any rust, remove using a wire brush.

A light sanding over the entire fridge will help paint to adhere better.

Once the fridge surface is clean and dry, apply a rust primer over any areas where rust was present. This helps cover some of the discolouration and makes it easier to apply the new topcoat color.

When the spot priming dries, paint the entire fridge with a urethane reinforced enamel, such as Melamine Paint. This type of paint comes in many colours and can be easily applied with a high-density foam roller. Simply roll on three thin coats, allowing each coat to dry in between.

Although this paint is not as hard as a factory paint coating it provides a temporary fix to a color changing and or rust problems

With these simple steps you can have a new black fridge in only about 24 hours for minimal cost and hassle!
