How do I give my refrigerator a stainless steel appearance?
I recently traveled 300 mi to pick up my mother's old refrigerator. We just bought a house and are trying to cut cost. I want the fridge to have a stainless steel appearance. I tried stripping the paint. The color underneath is perfect. The only problem is that the paint only strips in certain areas. Then we tried a metallic color. Awful! Now we are trying a textured shiny gray, and it looks ok but we cannot get it to be even.
I want to know if there is any type paint that gives the appearance of stainless steel? Thanks for you advice/help in advance!

I went to Home Depot and got a generic metallic spray paint. Did wonders for me!
