I just used some new Krylon spray paint from ACE that says it can be used on plastics. I completely painted the plastic interior of the westy fridge and plastic door interior and even the gasket around the door white. Turned out fantastic!. I used paint thinner and then wax and grease remover to prep the plastic before painting. This stuff really does work on plastic. Many other spray paints I have used will cause a reaction when painting plastic. I painted a computer monitor once and it literally took a month to dry and smelled horrible the whole time. Check out the new Krylon, Who has a couple westy fridge door trays for sale? anybody?
