Hi JDAugie,  What you will find is with the 3 piece glass pane unit you will get condensation between the layers because they are not sealed they are justed sandwiched together with adhesive foam. I think Tim had this happen and so did I. ...(not sure if this is just a Michigan "high humidity" problem) What I brought was a sealed two glass pane unit and this fixed the condensation problem. Fun-tronics sells a unit for your machine for $32.00. The unit I got was a little narrower then the original so I added a layer of adhesive foam from home depot. You don't see and it works good .

Use Hammertone not Krylon. Awhile back a member did a great 6 month test. I can search and find a link but returns "Object Not Found" so guessing the post was lost in an update :-).
As I recall surface prep didn't need to be that great with the Hammertone. Wire wheel and wipe down with acetone and should be good to go.

Creighton, is the Hammertone you mention a brand, or is it the Rustoleum Hammertone?

I'd have liked to have seen the final results.  But the Hammertone looks good. I'm tempted to do the shelves.  I already sprayed one shelf with the Cold Galvanizing spray but it seems very "flat" looking.   I think I'll cover it with the Hammertone, though the Hammertone instructions say not to prime and the Galvanizing instructions say not to cover with an oil base paint.  Also thanks rayg for the info on the door glass.  I'm going to try to take it apart and clean it.  If I run in to trouble, It's good to know Funtronics has the glass kit.

I did use the Rustoleum Hammertone.  It is addictive, once you use it you are going to want to find other things to paint with it.  It looks just like a factory finish.

I've finished the clean-up for now, here a a couple pics.  I'm holding off on the heavy painting till spring, when I can open up for air.  I made sope magnets for the product selection. and touched up the scratches on the side.
