Good tip! I would love to have instructions on painting the entire frig. I have a 10yr old Sears side by side that just won't die. It is white and I would like black. Saw an ad about painting it stainless, but I don't want stainless. Would also like to paint built-in wall over black. Any suggestions,instructions or tips? Would be great if I could do it in place.

Does this technique also work for washing machine tubs?
Tiny chips and dings on expensive porcelain fixtures and appliances are distressing—but fixable. With a few careful dabs of touch-up glaze and a little sanding and buffing you can make those ugly blemishes vanish.
Clean the damaged area with soap and water, rinse and let dry. Thoroughly mix the touch-up glaze. Dab the glaze onto the damaged area with the enclosed applicator brush, and let it dry for 24 hours. Repeat, if necessary, until the damaged area is filled, letting the glaze completely dry before recoating.
Lightly sand the area smooth with the sandpaper enclosed in the kit, and then buff it with a soft cloth.
Disguise chips, dings and scratches in porcelain bathtubs, sinks, toilets and major appliances with a quick and easy touch-up glaze.
Glazes that match the original manufacturer's colors nearly perfectly are available (or can be ordered) from home centers, hardware stores and paint suppliers. Apply the glaze as shown in Photos 1 and 2.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.
