Hello everyone. I'm somewhat new to the forum but have posted a couple threads while I was doing this build. Long story short, I restored a 1946 Hotpoint refrigerator and converted it to a single tap kegerator / Beer fridge. The Kegerator part is complete and works great. Now I need to...

Awesome build. I'm working on a 1950 Hotpoint doing the same thing. What paint did you end up using? Looks similar to the Duplicolor Paint Shop Metallic blue that I am using... Did you do anything to the inside of the Fridge?
