Paintable appliance wrap/contact paper? Ideas for changing dishwasher front?
I need some suggestions as to products or another way to go about changing the color of my dishwasher. Basically, I want to paint the dishwasher front to be the same color as our kitchen cabinets (I have the same paint still leftover) but I’m not fully committed enough to want to paint directly on the dishwasher as it is a fairly new dishwasher nothing wrong with it and we wouldn’t want to replace it if we messed it up. My thought was if I could find some sort of paintable wallpaper/contact paper to wrap it first and paint on that, but I’m having trouble. Most paintable wallpaper is not peel and stick, and I’m worried that even normal matte contact paper will not allow the paint to adhere even with primer. Is there a way I could better prep contact paper for paint? A different product I’m not thinking about? Or is there another idea I have completely overlooked? I’ve seen people fully replace the dishwasher front with wood to create an integrated look but I’m not sold on fully disassembling the front (as I said it’s a fairly new appliance). Could there be a way to attach a ver thin appliqué type situation without it looking terrible? Any ideas are appreciated! submitted by /u/BluegrassFilly [link] [comments]
