White dishwasher in a stainless steel kitchen

Question

I have a really great Bosch dishwasher that's white while our stove and frig are stainless steel with black details.  It's not possible to replace the dishwasher and, besides, it's wonderful. I'd like to do something imaginative to cover the white and would love ideas from all you creative people out there. I've thought of using wallpaper or a large print but wonder if it would stay on plus the edges of the door and control panel would still be white. Help!

Appliances can be re-painted. I have found this web-site on the instruction. homeguides.sfgate.com/how to repaint a dishwasher.

@Linda There is an Epoxy appliance pain that comes in stainless steel color, I painted the front of my dishwasher with it 5 or 6 years ago, & it's held up great! I also painted over my panel with a black spray paint for painting plastic, it on the other hand did not hold up as well & really should be touched up......

hi Katrina, do you remember the brand of the Epoxy paint that you used to paint over your white dishwasher so it would appear to be stainless steel? i have a black dishwasher next to a stainless steel refrigerator. Your post is the first i've seen that actually says their option held up well. thank you, Carol

The company I used for my faux granite countertops also has faux steel paint and it 1/2 the cost when you buy direct from them instead of Home Depot 25.00 for range and dishwasher kit. https://www.gianigranite.com/ and it comes with instructional dvd. direct page https://www.gianigranite.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=1_73

I remember seeing a post where a stainless steel film was used, however I couldn't remember where. You could google it. This is what I found on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Instant-Brushed-Stainless-Steel-Film/dp/B00BAUPS9M

I would use chalkboard paint on it

Denise Boyce · Answer

I like Margita's idea, they do have brushed stainless panels if you don't want to use the film, also on amazon called appliance art magnet dishwasher cover Then get plastic paint in black and paint the control panel. Just make sure you tape off the buttons and lights.

There is some type of spray paint that is stainless steel look then use black doko marker for the buttons

You could leave the control panel white and use stainless film, See ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Instant-DIY-Stainless-Steel-Self-Adhesive-Cover-Film-for-Appliances-36-x-6ft/321881693967?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D34002%26meid%3D358161f4fd3f483894c1ddfa6069e6c8%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D321852466007
