Rusty Fridge Shelf Fix

The down side to covering the shelves is you stop the air flow which would probable not be a good thing if this is a RV absorption fridge.

The beer might not get cold!

Interesting thread. Just a note: I have some limited experience with plasti-dip. It peels off very easily. I've only used it for a battery tray and some engine brackets, but it's real popular with the "tuner" import car kids as a TEMPORARY paint job. As in peel it off later when you get tired of the color.

I worried about that, Glenn. While easy to reverse, it does not sound like it would last too long.

I am leaning towards cleaning and etching, and using the left over white Appliance Epoxy. It too could be cleaned for powder coating if needed at a later date. We'll see.

hello. The powdercoating places sandblast the pieces before spraying and baking. If you are not in too much of a hurry you can wait until they are doing a particular color that you are looking for and probably get a better price. I have only used a place once for an automotive project a while back and the result was great and not " bank breaking ". If you need to match a color then it can get pricey from the info I got. Worth looking into ? A phone call or a couple. Prices vary as to how popular they are and how much they think of themselves. Places that do motorcycles are more used to small pieces than a place that does only wheels/rims. Keep us posted
