The Rustoleum stainless steel rattle can paint, if done right, looks decent, and for someone who's just trying to squeeze through, it might be an acceptable solution. Personally? I use it for machinery because you don't have to prime beforehand.

Steel to me. It just looks like a nice metallic flake with a matte lustre finish giving it a sort of sand blasted appearance. Kinda cool: yes S.Steel: no And yes, Rustoleum does have some really neat finishes. I used their "hammered steel" finish on my exposed old brick chimney and the result was spectacular.

They make a stainless steel finish, its nice and easy to spray, and leaves a nice finish (for a rattle can, anyway). Just make sure you shake for at least 2 min - it's very metallic and if you don't mix the solids with the rest of the can, you'll get a fuzzy, matte finish. For $4 and change a can, it'd probably be a lot cheaper! Keith, have you ever considered Rustoleum’s Appliance Epoxy in a rattle can?

My house came with a crappy dishwasher and stove so those got replaced with nice new stainless ones, but the fridge is white but not old enough to replace. This would totally make my fridge not annoying. Anyone use this stuff? looks interesting.
