i stripped it back to metal using the 3m fibre discs then did a little pannel beating to reduce the dents, then primed and undercoated. put the first base coat on last night.

If you just want it clean and white again do this:

Clean it,

Scuff it with Scotch Brite pads whilst wet,

Clean it again using el-cheapo Bag & Tar Remover,

Hit it with a few cans of Appliance White,

Done

I used a marine 2-pac ...like wot you paint boats with! Gives a hardened enamel shell (like a sprayed on 2-pac) but you can apply it with a brush

...goes good. 2 coats for $50 - $60

The misses finished it off a bit weird with a brushy swishy effect <_< but it's the 1st one we've done.
Like i said, because hammertone comes out all metallic and dotty, the sprayjob version would be awesome and take about 1/5th of the time. Can get cool blueish colours as well B)

edit - if you don't have bog and dings and sh!t in the fridge, i reckon the best would be to cut it back to bare metal, then just clear over the top so it's like a fancy brushed stainless one without all the fingerprint issues.
