Need to just cut the doors out, and then make the doors., and trim them up.

Always seems to take longer than you plan but at least doing it youself means you get it the way you want . Took me ages and, don't know about you, somedays I just kept running out of patience as some parts seem to take forever. You will be chuffed when its done and it will look so much better. Keep up the good work............. :D

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! :) Its really inspiring :)

As for the fridge, it was cleaned really well, and I used a gloss plasticote from B&Q £5. ish per tin, and done the lot with one tin :)

The shelves were in a right state, the chrome was flaking off. I had a friend shot blast the bulk of it off, and then finished it of with many hours and wire wool. Sprayed these up the with the same plasticote paint.

The beauty of it is that its a thick paint, so it covered the pitting in the metal really well. :ok

Never done it before buddy, just giving it a go!


One thing I will say is measure twice, cut once, but.... before you cut, check and measure again! :lol:
