It's an early 90s fridge but can't help with the colour. Why would you want to paint it, so long as it works good?

You would still be able to replace the workings of it, but it would be nearly cheaper to buy a new one, plus the are more energy efficient. (2.5amp hr I think instead of 4-5 amp hr.)

yeah it works perfectly but its starting to look a bit  drab, so a lick of paint would jazz it up a bit thats all

Just take it to a good paint shop and they will color match it for you.

Had a thought Nav (no, it didn't hurt  ). Why not ditch the o/e colours & go for something really out there, scary even. It just might keep the big bloke out of ya fridge & drinkin' ya grog.

Maybe a few fragipannie flower stickers might do the trick.

Why not put XXXX stickers on it, No one out side queensland will go near it and Queenslanders aren't smart enough to work out the latch..

You'd be over capitalising it buying a tin of paint wouldn't you? Just get the best colour you can out of the $2 bin at Bunnings.

I have one of these, Its done that many km's that there is a groove around the fiberglass at the top from the seal. Every year i say i'm going to get a new one, but then i say Why?

I remember when weaco's first come out, they were introduced as a cheaper alternative to the engel's, trailblazers, etc of the time. Then like a lot of things they became popular,They speant heaps on advertising, the price went up, but the fridges stayed the same. Now people talk as if they are the same quality. Strange...
