      Great video... Years ago I saw that there was a stainless steel peel & stick for appliances, and I've really wanted to do it, but this way seems so much easier.
      Great job👍😷

    Here are a couple tips from a "serial" house flipper...if you have petroleum jelly, you can smear it over glass areas. Use a candle to rub on edges of wood cabinets, window sills etc. for tight painting situations. If you get paint spray or touch cabinets with dab of paint...spray wipes off with removal of petroleum and dried dab of paint comes off as you gently scrap off candle wax. I use a piece of styrofoam to stick screws upright in so I can spray paint the heads easily and let dry without rolling around or getting stuck together or messed up.

      Craig B You don’t know about the “long haul” effects of COVID.. My godson contracted COVID In April. Age 38 with 2 teen sons. Not overweight. 3 weeks hospital. Including 2 weeks ICU and ventilator. Released from hospital in May. On June 1st. while accompanying his parents to get take-out food, felt sick in car. Was rushed to ER. Collapsed outside ER. 26 minutes to get heartbeat then taken inside. Diagnosis cardiac arrest which in turn led to vegetative state. He is now in a Persistent Vegetative State (PVS) , only able to open and close eyes. COVID attacked his heart and led to the cardiac arrest. There are many long-term affects of COVID infection. It is an infectious disease. Read up on the long-term effects of polio and other infectious diseases. You sound very naive. I’m 59. I’m older than you and seen a lot more than you. Saying recovered from COVID does not account for the long-term effects of this disease. And saying “NO BIGGIE” shows your ignorance. I’ll be sure and tell his mom, my best friend, that you said her son recovered from COVID so NO BIGGIE. PS COVID immunity only lasts 3-6 months. The same reason why the flu shot must be given each year. There is no permanent, absolute immunity from any disease.

    I know that none of you young & broke people are going to believe this but there will come a time in your life when you can walk into Costco or wherever you want to buy your appliances & buy whichever one you choose. That's not the hard to believe part, you will miss this time of your life where you had more creativity than money! You will most likely still be creative, if you are now but there is something to be said for the masterpieces born of desperation, lol. (The channel owner here seems far from desperate, just very careful with their spending which is how everyone should be.)
    I remember those times as the best times of my life! At that time I thought life would be easier if we were rich. Money isn't really that important in the big picture. I hated to hear that when I was young so I apologize. What really matters is spending time with the people you love & bringing each other happiness in all of the simple ways that you can. We think it's money that we can't get more of but it's not, TIME TOGETHER is what we run short on at the end of the day. We work so much to try to buy things. Try to remember things are easily replaced. The people in your life & the love you have for them are quite literally the one loss that cannot be replaced. Sorry, I meant for this to be more upbeat. Beautiful paint job & btw I think it looks super modern without the words on the buttons. Thanks for another great video!

    I can't believe how great that looks! I found that Rustoleum spray paint in aged bronze, antique gold, and copper does an AMAZING makeover to knobs, hinges, mirrors and chandiliers, lamps etc. I bought outdated shiny chandeliers at a thrift shop for under five bucks! I changed out glass globes...choosing new styles from tons of globes at thrift shop at 50 cents a globe! They look amazing and were awed over many times! I also did curtain rods and hooks, etc. The knobs and drawer pulls I wanted for kitchen were 10-12 dollars a piece and I needed 24! Found two BAGFULLS of identical knobs and pulls at a Goodwill for 3 bucks a bag, all screws included! They were shiny silver and I needed a more aged, dark matte finish. So tried Rustoeum aged bronze spray paint....came out BEAUTIFUL! Didnt scratch off either! So six bucks for bags of knobs and pulls, and five bucks for spray paint....saved me hundreds! Also took off cream colored plastic light switch covers and outlet covers plus screws, spray painted them all in aged bronze....couldnt tell them from the 12 dollar apiece metal ones! Again, saved hundreds! Going to check this stainless paint you did...wondering if it comes in the matte dark grey stainless steel color and in a heat resistant appliance paint kit for ovens? Love your style and you sure are great at painting and carpentry, very steady hand...you go, girl!!!

    This is a perfect solution for my very old Kitchenaid range. I changed all my appliances one by one from white to stainless as they stopped working over the years. But now, not wanting to change my range because, damn, it’s still an excellent performer! They don’t make them to last like this any more and, unless you can afford a new Kitchenaid, you just don’t wanna get rid of something purely for aesthetic reasons. This is not a sponsored post, but how can you argue? I bought this range in 2001! It’s as old as my home which is 22 years this year. Raised my family, seen many meals and celebrations and this range has never needed any repairs! Not even a lightbulb!! If my relationships were this reliable I would have stayed in them too!! Haha!

    I can’t wait to do mine. Now I see the difference in the strokes when the paint dries. Looks good.
    After watching a few videos I’ve noticed the Horizontal strokes (Left to right) gives it a realistic look as opposed to the vertical (up and down) strokes.

    Leave the micro vent black. Almost all stainless appliances have black trim, etc. . The keypad and the window are black. It all will balance.
    Nice job.
    Removing the tape much sooner will make a huge difference in your final outcome but this was a test piece and the perfect piece to work out what very few issues you had. Honestly, I am shocked just how well this turned out. You were very brave to include your micro in your first test run.

    It looks great! You did a really good job! Most people would be terrified painting an appliance of all things, so I give you a lot of credit. I’m a painter and refinisher and one thing I would recommend on future projects is spending a little more money and purchase Frog Tape. The blue painters tape always gave me more problems. I could never trust it would stop paint bleed. All I do after applying Frog Tape is wet the edges with water and lightly dry it off. It activates the tape to seal the edges. After that, just paint away! It comes out perfect. Your kitchen looks great!

    I asked what the difference was, as the price was $230/mo in rent difference, and was told the only difference is their “premium rooms” have stainless instead of black appliances. No other differences at all.

    I remember way back in the 70s/80s my parents had a brown refrigerator and it was just hideous. Trends seem to change but the stainless steel look has held on for quite awhile now. It just looks so crisp and clean to me. The only downside is the fingerprints it leaves, so now they’ve come up with the fingerprint-less type. I am forever cleaning smudges, so that’s what I’d like next. This really looks great. I actually had a toilet brush holder and a tiny trash can in my bathroom that were cheap silver and over the years they’ve gotten to look so bad. They actually have rusted in some places. I was set to do something like this until my husband bought bronzed replacements. I really like them a lot but I’m so glad I know that this works for the future. Great video 👍.

      Katherine Taylor sorry, there was a typo in my comment. Fixed.
      Yes, from what I’ve heard, even paints made for potbelly stoves are not for oven/stove application. My guess is that, like for me, I have an avocado colored oven. I’d LOVE to pint the entire thing! However, particularly where the surface area is around the burners? My guess is that it would either bubble up or cause dangerous fumes and, possibly, a fire hazard around the burner areas. Not worth the risk, even with the top likely being easy to remove, take outside and being able to do a fine paint job. Sad, because I HATE the avocado.

My dishwasher wasn't working at the time, but replacing it was out of my budget. But a quick search online revealed an easy, relatively inexpensive, and super quick to install control panel. Purchased the control panel, installed it myself (basically like plugging in a circuit board), reinstalled the panels, and done! Spent less than $100 & got a whole new dishwasher.
