About a year ago I bought an old mini fridge from a guy in Ohio. I had big plans for it but it just sat there. Well I finally got around to painting it today. This is one of the practice projects for me so I can learn to paint. I had stripped it a long time ago and sprayed can primer on it to keep it from rusting. So today I sanded that off and primed, Painted and clear coated it. It looks great. No runs and doesn't even look like there is much orange peal. Well I just thought I would share this with you. I think this will make a great beer fridge.

Josh, This was the first Frostie project, I must have sold a hundred sets of decals. The fridg you have I have only ever had one of those that size (RARE!) It would look good in a theme.

Curtis that looks great!! I think for now this one is going to be origional. I tried to get some info on the fridge and all I found was that it was made in 1959 and it is the first apartment size fridge made. It works great and the inside is in great shape.

Well the fridge is done!! We just got it inside. This isn't where it is going to be permanently but we are still looking for a good place. I didn't have the handle rechromed yet because I am having the parts chromed on the C55 shortly and it only makes since to send it all at one time. Besides it is really easy to take off. I had forgotten that the seals were bad but luckly I had just enough V81 door seal left over from doing the 7up Sv to use on this and it was just the right size. I am going to wait untill tomorrow to plug it in. So what do you all think.
