    We painted our old freezer that is kept in the garage. We used appliance spray paint and it turned out great!

    Thats a cool idea. Maybe I will do that with the spare one I have in my basement? My grandkids would love that and my wife is a 1st grade teacher. I just tried to make it the same color but new again, since my wife wanted to buy a new fridge- just what the appliance manufacturers want. I'm retired and she still is working so I can't go fishing every day!😉

    Your welcome, good luck. I used painters tape to cover the door gaskets to avoid getting paint on them. Stick with Rustoleum- it is oil based paint designed for metal and resistant to further rust. I also cheated a little by not painting the top- wasn't rusty and who sees that anyway?
