T.N.
Yes, we did! In the old days (90s, tehehe) we had a hideous kitchen. First thing we did was take all the old appliances out in the back yard and paint them. Cleaned them up, sanded them down, used a Rustoleum Product specifically for painted appliances in a brushed steel color. They came out GORGEOUS. You would never know they were NOT brushed steel!
(But it WAS a lot of work, and was actually a little pricey, the spray cans cost maybe ten bucks each and we went through a Zillion of them, well pricey for THOSE days anyway!)
