What's the best paint to apply by brush or roller? Spraying is not an
option.

Yup, you need to spray. Solvent based metal paint.

Spraying is the only option. If you don't care how it looks, you
probably would not have posted.

If you cannot spray it yourself and the refrigerator is transportable,
call the local car bodyshops and ask for a quote.

Spray paint from a can might be an option.

Is Fablon still available ? That would be georgeous. Used to be the answer to everything

Yes. I've used it and it is okay.
Think about using a mini roller. They are very cheap and you even get the
tray!

I was thinking of using a 4" gloss roller. I don't think the results with
an ordinary emulsion roller would be very good :-)

Don't use paint.

Vinyl wrap it.

In a couple of years it'll look grim. In 10 it'll be dire.

I assume as the op is contemplating repainting, he is short of funds to buy new. Titing abt taking fridges to car bodyshops & paying them to respray would seem somewhat false economy.

Stick a pair of knickers on it.

If he is that hard up and it is an old refrigerator, I really don't
think it would make that much difference whether he uses brush or
roller. Both will probably not look very good.

I took in the possibility that it could be something other than a funds
shortage. E.g. damage on an expensive model, some change of colour for
decorative reasons, or something else.
