Spray Paint Makeover for Your KitchenAid Mixer
$10
1 Day
Easy
I wanted a fun colored mixer but couldn't justify the purchase when mine still worked great. So what's a DIY girl to do? Spray paint it, of course!
Here's the before with a sad attempt at embellishment, with some vinyl cut outs.
Make sure you scrub it clean. Get off all the sticky stuff. Sand lightly. Tape off all the parts you don't want paint on, including the motor area.
Use a coat of good primer. I think I used Rustoleum. Then you're ready to make it any color you want! Here is my mixer after the coat of black. Before the stickers (used as stencils) went on and the final coat of red was applied.
Match your kitchen or go totally bold! It's fun just to see it sitting on the counter!
I did this 2 years ago, and it still looks great! And, YES, it gets used often. :)

Have a question about this project?
What kind of spray paint did you use?
I wonder if this method would work on a Kenwood, it is plastic.
they do make paint for plastic items just look for it at Walmart or hardware store I used it on lawn furniture works great
Can opener should be ok. Toaster no unless you can find hi temp paint other than black
