Fix for Fridge scratch ?

bigdog · 11-16-2021, 06:33 PM

I have a fairly new stainless steel refrigerator with a scratch on the front at the top. Scratch is about 3" long, and deep enough it stands out.
Is there anyway I can fix this ?

Thanks !

I would need to see a picture from several angles.
Other than that, it may require a new panel.

You purchase a new replacement part.

Or place/cover with some bulletin board.

Rustoleum has appliance paint. It is an epoxy, so very durable when applied correctly.

But it will only cover surface scratches and blemishes.
We would need to see the picture of the scratch from various angles to determine if it is only on the surface or has created an indentation.

Also, the entire surface should be redone if this method is used to ensure a color match.
