I Saw It Online & Recreated It

My WHITE KitchenAid mixer before I started. Just after I bought my mixer KitchenAid began to come out with COLORS! In the beginning I wanted a PINK one, but I had this color left over from painting some picture frames, so I went with it!

Take as much of the chrome and stuff off as you can. This is a good time to give it a GOOD cleaning!
You won't get it all off, but tape the rest - even the cord - with FROG paint tape. I only taped off part of my cord and it has some paint spray beyond where I taped.





As much of the chrome taken off as I could get off. The side knobs, cord, stationary screws, and the 'collar' had to be taped over. I found it easier to cut circles to fit over the screws and things I didn't want painted, and then tape them on to fit.





I made two or three light coats of color, taking time to let it completely dry in between coats, then waited until the next day to spray a clear coat over the color. Then I added stickers to customize my mixer and added on a couple more clear coats...
Top front view. The color is actually darker, but the lighting made it look lighter than it is.

The right side. I used to keep my KitchenAid mixer stored under a cabinet, but now I have it sitting right out on my kitchen bar. I love it!
Hope this might inspire you to get creative with your boring white mixer or other appliance. I really had fun doing this project
