I have a refrigerator I want to paint.
It is white and slightly textured but glossy.
What would you reccomend I do to paint it?
Scuff prime and paint with whatever?
Sandblast prime paint
Just paint?

No need to sandblast - the instructions come with the paint. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 576 | ditto on the appliance paint. make sure surface is clean. someone over the years might have used arag that had furniture polish or something like that to clean it .could have had silicon in it would lay waste to your paint job.

not avacado or almond? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 20 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 20 | I haven't used the appliance paint but have done a couple of fridges in a fire truck theme using PPG automotive paint straight over the preped existing finish.
I first disassembled the fridge by removing the doors and seals. This ensured I had paint in all areas. Looks tacky to have the seal move and reveil the old color. Then I degreased it using Pre-Kleano and scuffed the entire fridge using a 3m scuff pad, blow it off degrease again and then tack it off. The fridges I have done were raffled off at firefighter charity functions, they turned out great
