Could you form a shallow rectangular "pan" out of heavy duty aluminum foil?� The kind that is wide, about 18" or so.� Basically about an inch bigger on the sides than your fridge shelf; form the corners appropriately so liquid-tight.� (Like when I pre-bake chicken thighs before BBQing, I always line a 10" x 13" aluminum baking pan with the foil to eliminate cleaning of the baking pan; pre-form on the OUTSIDE of the baking pan first, then transfer to the INSIDE and push into corners for an exact fit.� Emeril Lagasse taught me that trick.) � Pour the can of plasti-dip into this foil pan, dunk shelf into liquid and submerge, maybe quickly flip over to cover all spots.� Retrieve, air-dry.� Just thinking.....haven't done myself....don't have a fridge in Westy....don't have a Westy...just a plastic ice chest.� Works for me.

So the fridge on the 89 I recently purchased needed some TLC.� I have cleaned it up and as I said the other day replace the cooling fan.� Oddly the wire racks were rusted in places and peeling their vinyl coating.� I removed the coating, so peeling with a knife and finished it off in the self cleaning oven cycle.� They are bare as a newborn's hind quarters!� Any idea where I could get them recoated with vinyl?� I bought a can of Plasti� dip, but I would need to buy a lot of that stuff to get it deep enough to dip.� Any leads?

Best,
