Wait for the range to die too.

If these are older appliances when things were built to last . . . .you might be waiting a long time. Maybe forever. If that's OK I'd spray the fridge too.

Thanks Dan and Joe. Some google searching reveals that Krylon and other spray cans are not recommended for ranges due to heat. There is a silver appliance painting kit on the market. But the results look less than thrilling - and that is from the pictures on the manuf. website!

Unless I can see some good results (from non manuf, actual users), I would not want to go down this path.

For a cooking stove, the paint would need to be high heat tolerance paint. Even then, it probably wont hold up for very long. I would leave it alone, and replace when you need to. Peeling paint will look a lot worse than what it is right now.

Look for paint used for manifolds and exhausts on cars. That'll handle way more heat than your stove will produce. Here's one. https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-coating/V-119/satin-silver?gclid=CjwKCAjwyvaJBhBpEiwA8d38vGvacsu5M-iX_8pVB6SGSJULqFygIfvcLJw1sX_OBuvnxw6XOe6uKxoC4PcQAvD_BwE

You do need to clean and sand the existing surface for prep.

If you're hesitant to get new b/c you don't want to send perfectly good appliances to the landfill, consider:

• Selling the refrigerator and range and getting new ones
• Donating them to a charity such as a local church that does makeovers for the needy/provides help for those who cannot afford new appliances
• If they're new enough, donating them to Habitat for Humanity
• Donating to other charity

Dan, thanks but it looks like way more work than I originally thought. This dude does it but doesn't say anything about the longevity

A commenter below his video says the paint didn't withstand the heat.

Buehl, this is a great idea! I will happily give away the stove and the refrigerator if someone wants to use them. I will list them on the local craigslist and when someone wants to pick them up, I will order new silver ones! (I heard that fridges are hard to come by these days so maybe not right away)

From what i am hearing..appliances are not always readily available ..even when they are promised…for that reason i would be absolutely sure the replacement is available…take the time to find the best deal…exactly what you want….have it delivered…then get rid of yours…this way your installers can remove the old ones properly as well…
