Dee on Dec 17, 2014You can purchase dots, and stick them all over it rather than painting, hard to get a professional paint job unless you have pro equipment to use. I have a red kitchenaid, and put black stick on dots on it, looks like a giant ladybug, very cute and I can change it anytime.Helpful Reply

Retro Steam Works on Dec 17, 2014In order for the paint to adhere properly, you need to sand the surface. Use 600 grit or higher wet sand paper, sand just to eliminate the gloss on the piece. Spray paint works better because it doesn't leave brush marks, just make sure to mask all parts you don't want pain on. I have used this technique in several of my pieces, it is widely used in the automotive industry.Helpful Reply
