Has anyone chalk painted a freezer?

Did it work well? And, if so how did you finish it off for the constant use...sealer? I have had a quote of aus$300 so now I'm sure I'd like to have a go in just the right colour :) Thank you.

    I really do not think chalk paint is a good choice for appliances.I would research appliance paint instead.Although many people are using this style I think it really is meant for furniture.

    Carol research the paint you want to try. I'm sure the manufacturer has suggested material that they recommend (wood, tile, etc) as well as items that they do not recommend use on.

    I used Rustoleum paint for an old freezer and it worked beautifully. I would do it again that's how well it worked.

      @Ellen Thanks, Ellen! We need to paint a fridge for our granddaughter. We'll use the Rustoleum appliance paint on it!

    I've used chalk paint on multiple pieces of furniture, but don't think I would do it on a freezer. I imagine that if you sealed it with a clear coat, it may work, but if you're going to have to clear coat it, why not just use a paint meant for the surface? I, personally, would not trust it to hold up on a typical freezer surface.

    I rolled plain old latex wall paint on our almond colored 1970's spare frig. It looks great and has held up great too. It doesn't get constant use. I used turquoise paint to match the wall color in the laundry room. With red accents it's now a fun space.
