Our Little Nest if you still have the dishwasher I would put those black label You have and maybe instead of horizontal way, maybe do in a slant ways or 45 degree.
Just an fyi.... You could've just used some Brillo/ steel wool to get unwanted paint off smooth surfaces like those. 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.

This is the first time I hear about this stainless steel paint. Been in the appliance industry for over 12 yrs and this just gave me some ideas. Thanks 👊👊
A few tips from a fellow DIYer; remove tape while the paint is still wet (after about 10 mins) and it won't pull paint off. Also, look into printing new labels with waterslide paper!
The microwave looks fantastic. You don't need to paint the vent because black and silver looks fab. Just use abbreviations for the dishwasher cycles. Nice job though.
What about using clear labels you can buy at any office supply store, then print on your home computer using whatever font/size fits? I know these labels exist to be used for things like return address labels and spice jars, etc. I'm thinking you could place the labels before putting on the finish see-through top coat. Thoughts???
can you post pics of the oven? im curious how it would work! also to you and anyone else how is maintenance with this and keeping it clean. im worried that an oven top gets so dirty the paint wouldnt be durable enough to survive scrubbing off oils and grease
It's not the best representation of stainless steel, but better than the silver finish by some companies. Doesn't look too bad, but I'd pick up some old appliances before doing your own.
So what you guys are saying is that once you know you're done painting, you remove the tape right away? I Just want to make sure i don't mess this up since I'll be painting my house soon🙏🙏🙏. Thanks!
I didn't even know such a product existed, but wow! That looks great! The painters tape we use is really good about not letting anything under. It's called Frog Tape, and it's bright green. Maybe it could help on your next project! 💕
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 HIGHLY recommend using a box fan with a HVAC filter taped to back. It really helps by trapping spray paint particles that are in the air. I always use this method when air brushing indoors. It’s crazy how much over spray floats around in the air.

Holy snot that looks amazing. I'm a contractor and I've never heard of this before. Guess I know it works if I ever need to clean up an ugly appliance! 🤣
Traci was and is still my favorite . They treated her like trash!! I can relate, my sister passed away too from C. The devil us a liar!! RIP Traci!! Keep your head up Kevin Sr. Wishing you and your son the best!! God is on your side!!❤❤
The texture seems like it probably feels like “smudge proof stainless” which is actually more desirable now! We have smudge proof appliances and it’s the best!!
Really nice work!! 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. Your video was my first so I had to come back and comment... ❤️❤️
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!!!
That is amazing. WOW!! Now the true test is how it holds up to cleaning. 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.
My husband and I absolutely LOOOVE IT!! I like that you didnt paint the top of the microwave! It looks perfect and I am inspired to try this on my fridge and microwave! Thank soo much!! Muah
...also,with the stainless steel paint product you can put a coat of Rust-Oleum clear paint over the stainless steel paint and the "steel" will shine nicely.
Just found this I have been obsessed with DIY upgraded to my place these past few weeks. I had no idea one can do this and appliance paint exists!! You did a beautiful job! Thank You so much for the inspiration. I love the black top on the microwave. You have black doorknobs etc. It just really accentuates them. Well done..great job...
THANK YOU for this video! I also used it in my kitchen and painted both my dishwasher and microwave with it, and they both turned out amazingly well. I love the look of them and at some point plan to do the same to my fridge. You're awesome!!!
I did this to my dishwasher, stove, and frig.. They looked amazing. It lasted for years for me. Just remember if you do a stove, make as many top coats as you can.
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!
My first thought when you ran into the label-maker dilemma was that you could simply turn the labels vertically (have the stickers turned 90 degrees, so the words are sideways, being spelled upwards).
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! But I digress..I will be ordering this paint and giving old “Kitchy” a glo-up!
In case you need a solution for button: just put numbers over each button then you can have a legend or key on the top where you can only see it if you open it.
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.
Please, please, PLEASE always advise to use good ventilation when painting indoors, especially using spray paint- use a mask, and!... pull your long hair into a pony tail!!😁🙏
Bluessongstress1963 the point is she doesn’t need to kill ppl with dredging on & on about it. Ppl aren’t freaking stupid, okay. We know to open windows, wear masks, gloves, etc., and the hair thing is completely optional & personal. It won’t kill you if you don’t put it up. 🤷♀️ It’s their paint finish, not mine. lol I’m not about to tell a grown woman how to wear her hair just bc *I* would’ve chosen to wear it a certain/different way.
@@ashleyfalcon125 Your comment was just SO rude and mean spirited. And 4 what? To make someone else wrong about taking safety precautions. Perhaps u should take your own advice
I agree she should totally make a big point of that!! Lol, I'd like to think I'm not stupid... I'm pretty smart in a lot of ways but definitely thought I was maybe going to die a few months ago for a few hours after spray painting something in a small closed area... It was idiotic. Felt like I couldn't sit up for a few hours. But felt too stupid to tell anyone what I had done. Don't let more people do what I did! Ha.
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 👍.
No way that would be impossible to weed. I use my Cricut multiple times a week and lettering that would have to be that small would be dang near impossible
I came here to say that very thing! In one of my craft groups, I saw someone re-label their stove with vinyl cut on a cricut because the push pad was completely worn... it looked fantastic!
You did a terrific job with both the microwave and the dishwasher. Yes, I really like the Black across the top of your Microwave. I’m so impressed with your work. I’m also about to use the same stainless steel kit using a black and stainless steel color combination ! Wish me luck ! Yours turned out AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!
Wait if the dishwasher was broken, did you just paint it so everything would blend color wise, until you got a new one?.... either way- it’s looks fantastic!!
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.
WOW! I never heard of stainless steel paint! Your work is SO good,so precise and we'll thought out how to get it that precise! I love how you figured out how to fix "boo-boo." You just did great work, with a very new and novel paint! Kudos to you!
Based on my experience, frog tape has been incredible for getting the straight lines. Try that on your next project. I used to it brush paint, stain, spray paint and always worked out
The result looks amazing! How has it held up over the last year and a half? Has it peeled or chipped or cracked? This would be a great hack for renting cheaper, but I wouldn’t want to install something while renting if it would degrade over time, and I could be liable to replace them.
Didnt finish the video yet, so I'm not sure if you figured out what you want to do for the words yet but you could write them inside the top edge (like the part that will be closed when you see it, ould be same surface like your counter top would be level too). Just an idea...so you could see what you wanna do but have a clean look still.
There’s an apartment complex that I’ve been eyeing up for a while who does that whole “some rooms are more expensive some are less expensive, but they’re the same.” 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. Interesting video.
Cute!! Turned out amazing!! Definitely keep the black on the microwave!!! Looks very natural and well balanced. Ties in nicely with the other appliances!
You can put the labels on top and under the buttons. So “pots” on top the “normal” would be under “large” above and whatever next under. Just a suggestion
I see a kitchen remodel in my very near future! My stove and stove vent could use a new finish. I was thinking about the chrome finish spray paint but it doesn't seem like it works very well. I'll try this instead. Good video, thanks for posting it.
I'm in the process of redoing my kitchen with the liquid stainless after watching your video. You did a Great job! Hope mine goes as well! Bravo🙂👏👏👏👏👏❤
I love watching your home projects. Never even knew that product existed, so cool! Makes the microwave and dishwasher look sleek. Ps Teachers love Googone to get all the sticky tape off in the classroom.
This looks amazing! I am in the process of buying my first house and you are giving me so many ideas. The dishwasher looks amazing as is and the microwave looks great too. You did an amazing job

Our Little Nest if you still have the dishwasher I would put those black label You have and maybe instead of horizontal way, maybe do in a slant ways or 45 degree.
Our Little Nest get custom decals - you can use the nail transfer stuff
Our Little Nest nail tattoos I think they’re called. You can buy the paper from amazon I think
That's definitely a slimline dishwasher
Just an fyi.... You could've just used some Brillo/ steel wool to get unwanted paint off smooth surfaces like those.
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👍😷
I like the vent black it's a really pretty contrast
Trueeee

Yes. Leave the vent black. Looks good and matches stove.
Agree. Leave the vent black
Exactly!👌🏼
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.
Sounds like amateur hour to me, a good masker can mask anything, tape and a razor knife
Great tips, thanks!

Just use a knife

@@ceebee1461 She DID leave it black...which is great!
Diane Strain yeah I know.. but in the video she said she wasn’t sure if she should paint it or not. Hence this comment thread.
Yeah agree with the others. The black vents just carry the black in the microwave and stove.
Agree!
The black on the top of the microwave balances out the black stove top perfectly! 😇
I surprised my mom with painting my oven, dish washer, and microwave with this and she loved it so much she almost passed out!

Chanthana yep!! if you let it dry, it can pull your paint up and give you a chipped look
Just put the first letter. "P" for pots "N" fot normal "W" for wash....

The vent looks better black easier to clean, grease won’t show up as much.
i think the point is for it to show up so u can monitor the cleanliness of the surface. The goal is to clean grime not hide it.
You could just use the label maker, and just do the first initial P for pots, N for normal etc. Just an idea.
Sydni A Underwood great idea!!

For labels: you could also print the exact size font you need on a clear sticker paper available at most office and craft stores :)
I did this to my dishwasher, stove, and frig.. They looked amazing. It lasted for years for me. Just remember if you do a stove, make as many top coats as you can.
Thank you for the advise. This is exactly what I was planning to do regarding the stove/oven. Thanks again.
Hi, what color did you paint the top of the stove near the burners? Black?
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!
Just make the labels go vertical instead of horizontal, then they will fit over each button.
^^^^
Right... duh
That’s what I was going to suggest!
What an ugly idea. I was thinking one sticker above the button and the next one below it so it alternates
yes
Wow! Who knew - stainless steel paint 💕 the microwave looks great. I wouldn’t paint the vents. it works with your stove. Great job
grandmajan6 they make such cool products nowadays!
My first thought when you ran into the label-maker dilemma was that you could simply turn the labels vertically (have the stickers turned 90 degrees, so the words are sideways, being spelled upwards).
Cricut
Even tilted at 45 degrees.
I used a black window tint film. It was static cling wrap. Bought on amazon. Giani told me about it. Words look perfect. Its great for this kit.
The blue tape stinks anymore. I like the frog tape. Great job.
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! But I digress..I will be ordering this paint and giving old “Kitchy” a glo-up!
In case you need a solution for button: just put numbers over each button then you can have a legend or key on the top where you can only see it if you open it.
Anyone else looking at the date of this video when she said she had the flu and thinking she maybe had COVID lol
Did exactly That. 😂
I did lol
Yes. My thoughts exactly. I hope that was not the case.
@@rozchristopherson648 She obviously recovered, so no big deal. At least she should be immune now.
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.
The vent shouldn’t be painted.
The air flowing will cause the paint to weather off
Christian Serna plus it looks nice the way it is
I had the same microwave and the vent was black. Mine was stainless steel. Thats how it looked
Looks amazing! Great job. I think the microwave looks perfect. Don't paint the vent, it matches with the black on your stove. Love it!
I'm in Awe watching this video. Never knew it had those kind of paint at all. Well done young lady.
Print the smallest font, use thick clear packing tape, soak in water a minute, then rub off the paper and let tape dry, stick onto the unit
I would suggest typing all the cycles as once. Your labeler should resize the wording to make the letters closer.
I'm so glad you try this stuff so I can see what it looks like! I'm really impressed by this. I may try it!
Kristy Joy thank you! I’m super impressed by it, I never would have thought it would look so real!
Please, please, PLEASE always advise to use good ventilation when painting indoors, especially using spray paint- use a mask, and!... pull your long hair into a pony tail!!😁🙏
Bluessongstress1963 I think people no to open windows unless there daft
Yes, so very important.
Bluessongstress1963 the point is she doesn’t need to kill ppl with dredging on & on about it. Ppl aren’t freaking stupid, okay. We know to open windows, wear masks, gloves, etc., and the hair thing is completely optional & personal. It won’t kill you if you don’t put it up. 🤷♀️ It’s their paint finish, not mine. lol I’m not about to tell a grown woman how to wear her hair just bc *I* would’ve chosen to wear it a certain/different way.
@@ashleyfalcon125 Your comment was just SO rude and mean spirited. And 4 what? To make someone else wrong about taking safety precautions.
Perhaps u should take your own advice
I agree she should totally make a big point of that!! Lol, I'd like to think I'm not stupid... I'm pretty smart in a lot of ways but definitely thought I was maybe going to die a few months ago for a few hours after spray painting something in a small closed area... It was idiotic. Felt like I couldn't sit up for a few hours. But felt too stupid to tell anyone what I had done. Don't let more people do what I did! Ha.
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 👍.
The green frog painter's tape works MUCH better than any blue painter's tape 💚
This such a good idea! What a great way to save money
See if a friend or acquaintance has a cricut. It can cut tiny letters out of vinyl and will work great for labeling
No way that would be impossible to weed. I use my Cricut multiple times a week and lettering that would have to be that small would be dang near impossible
I came here to say that very thing!
In one of my craft groups, I saw someone re-label their stove with vinyl cut on a cricut because the push pad was completely worn... it looked fantastic!
Nonni do you happen to have a picture of this?
The black on top if microwave looks great. It matches the side panel and the black of the dishwasher
Black vent on microwave coordinates with the dishwasher, and I like it! Great look for an in between time frame! ♥️🤙🏻
You did a terrific job with both the microwave and the dishwasher. Yes, I really like the Black across the top of your Microwave. I’m so impressed with your work. I’m also about to use the same stainless steel kit using a black and stainless steel color combination ! Wish me luck ! Yours turned out AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!
Wait if the dishwasher was broken, did you just paint it so everything would blend color wise, until you got a new one?.... either way- it’s looks fantastic!!
Alex Post yeah she just wanted to test out the paint.
To test if it works, so she doesn’t try it out on something she has to keep.
This looks amazing. Didn't even know they had this.
It’s fortunate that your oven is already stainless as, even appliance and stove paint, I believe, are not to be used for that.
Looks great.
Private Private that’s what I was wondering if it’s good for stove/oven front.
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.
Love it and the black grill at the top of the microwave makes it look real good.
WOW! I never heard of stainless steel paint! Your work is SO good,so precise and we'll thought out how to get it that precise! I love how you figured out how to fix "boo-boo." You just did great work, with a very new and novel paint! Kudos to you!
Based on my experience, frog tape has been incredible for getting the straight lines. Try that on your next project. I used to it brush paint, stain, spray paint and always worked out
BuffaloBuilder i agree. Totally worth the price
The result looks amazing!
How has it held up over the last year and a half? Has it peeled or chipped or cracked?
This would be a great hack for renting cheaper, but I wouldn’t want to install something while renting if it would degrade over time, and I could be liable to replace them.
Little hint window scrapers are usually 80cent and they usually come with a Stanley blade
In it - brilliant for cleaning
Wow! Didn't know there was stainless steel paint. Great job on microwave and dishwasher.
Didnt finish the video yet, so I'm not sure if you figured out what you want to do for the words yet but you could write them inside the top edge (like the part that will be closed when you see it, ould be same surface like your counter top would be level too). Just an idea...so you could see what you wanna do but have a clean look still.
There’s an apartment complex that I’ve been eyeing up for a while who does that whole “some rooms are more expensive some are less expensive, but they’re the same.”
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.
Interesting video.
Now you can spend the $23 on your own. Lol
But what they charge you once you leave?
How would you return it to its original condition?
@@sharell814 This is my question as well because I'm moving next month. The dishwasher is supposed to be white but looks yellow :/
So obsessed with your videos! This turned out fantastic. I wouldn’t paint the microwave vent. It looks great the way you left it!! 💕
Michelle Beck thank you! The more I look at it I realize i should just leave it!
You could try putting the words on slanted. It came out so great, the microwave looks normal as is without painting the vent
littlecrowley that is a cool idea! I will remember this for my diy projects.
Work I wouldn't have expected it to look that good! Great job!
Cute!! Turned out amazing!! Definitely keep the black on the microwave!!! Looks very natural and well balanced. Ties in nicely with the other appliances!
Fyi they do sell this paint at Walmart, Home Depot & Lowes. Great job
You can put the labels on top and under the buttons. So “pots” on top the “normal” would be under “large” above and whatever next under. Just a suggestion
I see a kitchen remodel in my very near future! My stove and stove vent could use a new finish. I was thinking about the chrome finish spray paint but it doesn't seem like it works very well. I'll try this instead.
Good video, thanks for posting it.
They both look fantastic! I like the black vents on the microwave.
That turned out so great. Like the black on the microwave.
I have a stainless microwave and the vent is black, so....yours looks pretty dang good and just like it's supposed to!
Thanks for the education! I love it! Cathryn
I'm in the process of redoing my kitchen with the liquid stainless after watching your video. You did a Great job! Hope mine goes as well! Bravo🙂👏👏👏👏👏❤
I love watching your home projects. Never even knew that product existed, so cool! Makes the microwave and dishwasher look sleek. Ps Teachers love Googone to get all the sticky tape off in the classroom.
sophyj84 hahab i love that!! My mom was a teacher and it definitely would have been helpful for her!
Leave it like it is. Looks great and unique. Great job!
This looks amazing. Don't do anything to them....I like how you created the black/stainless look. Great job girl👍🏾👏🏾👍🏾👏🏾👍🏾👏🏾
It came out great!
I did not even know that there was such a thing as stainless steel paint.
No, leave vent black. You did an amazing job...u go girl.
Looks amazing. The microwave looks great just the way it is. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic paint job. It looks great and it looks like real stainless steel.
I used the original appliance paint on my olg gas stove and it still looks good after 12 years lol.
I always had second thoughts about these paints but now that I saw you do it I think I'll give it a try 👍
I have a stainless microwave, the top part is black.
This looks amazing! I am in the process of buying my first house and you are giving me so many ideas. The dishwasher looks amazing as is and the microwave looks great too. You did an amazing job
