I bought a Beverage Air Industrial Kegerator off of craiglist a couple of weekends ago for $100.00 even. The unit was in disrepair, and was filthy. The gentleman I bought it from did pulg it in however, so I knew the unit still worked reasonably well.
Here is a link to a couple of photo's. This is post a couple of good cleanings with commet and CLR. Also had to use goo gone to get off the residual tape. At this point I had roughly 2 hours into the restoration.

I then Sanded the whole unit lightly to get an even surface and masked off the Stainless Steel portions for paint. Here are a couple of photos from after the first coat. I used Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy.

Ended up putting three good coats of paint on the unit, and I think it turned out pretty nice. Here are a couple of photo's of the end result.

I had to buy new hardware for the tower and liquid out line. Total spent was around $140.00 including the paint. I figure if I ever want to get rid of it I could probably double my investment.:rockin:
