Would this make a textured surface smooth? Would you recommend it for a textured fridge? Thanks!

Based on my experience I would say it wouldn't make a textured surface smooth. I used it for my range hood and it comes out with small lines in it like whichever way the paintbrush goes

I don't know- it says it makes the surface smooth. But, I'm not sure. I would contact Rust-Oleum directly. I did not use for appliance.

The texture on your refrigerator will still show through the paint. It's a very thin paint even after spraying the recomended clear coat.

No. It won't make a textured surface smooth. It's very thin and sort of glides on the surface you're painting. I got a very smooth effect on formica with a foam roller. For a textured surface, you would likely need a brush. I'm wondering about the texture. Texture might mean vinyl. I don't know how that would work and last. I think that the advantage to this product is that, on a smooth surface, the effect is very smooth. Usually painting means a "painted" look. This product doesn't look like stainless steel, but it doesn't look like paint either. For me, whether I'd try it on your project would depend on how much I hated my current refrigerator.

It depends how "textured" the surface is and how much time you are willing to commit to the project. I used mine for resurfacing a bathtub and applied many (4-5) coats allowing days between applications to give it a deep enamel look. I think it might smoothen out the surface if you apply a few coats but not sure that it will eliminate all texture. Hope this helps.

It is not textured and I wouldn't recommend this product. It does not give a real stainless look.

I used it on a "textured" fridge. My fridge didn't have any deep grooves or designs, but a subtle texture that makes it less slippery. I spray painted the sides of the fridge with black appliance spray paint. You could still see the original fridge texture through this spray paint. The Rust-Oleum paint, however, actually creates a "new" texture (after 3 layers) that isn't perfectly smooth either.

I have a textured kitchen floor as well. I sweep regularly and use this steam mop weekly but it does not clean that floor well, no matter what I do. This product works much better on my non textured floors.

My refrigerator wasn't dimpled, and I had to be very careful about drips, or putting the paint on smoothly as possible or it showed the unevenness. I'm going to assume that with a dimpled surface it may make application a bit more trickier so making the finish not look that good. This is my personal opinion..I would try it on the backside or lower part of the fridge that wouldn't show..

I agree it would certainly look pretty but bear in mind that it is a contact adhesive. I think the constant moisture in the fridge would be a little too much as there is some condensation at times, which could loosen the contact. I have not used it for this.

I love this thing! I have it on a smooth wall but it sticks very well. I think it would work ok on a textured wall but I'm not sure it would look as nice. It comes in 3 pieces and has to be lined up just right, texture might make the edges show. Maybe you can put it on a door if the wall doesn't work out.

The surface must not be textured. I've used mine on tiles where the two contact areas don't exactly make it all the way onto tile without hitting some part of the grout and it still works. I imagine it should work on glass surfaces (although, why would you risk that) and other surface that are smooth. You can always send it back it if doesn't work.

I used it to skim coat my walls with joint compound to smooth out old plaster walls and for smoothing drywall joints it works wonderfully. I put three thin coats on entire plaster walls sanded then used very thin coat to fill in areas that had pock marks (small holes in compound) very lightly hand sanded. Walls look great, covered all the flaws ( lumps and dips ) on the plaster walls.

Personally I would not use it for this purpose. I would be afraid over time with the dampness and humidity in a refrigerator along with the constant use and spills it would get nasty with crumbs and such along the edges. Also getting it perfect without bubbles on every shelf to look nice would be a pain. Just my opinion though : )

If you have a smooth, polished steel (not brushed finish) or chalk board paint surface then I wouldn't use these magnets. They stick so hard that the only way to remove them is to slide them to the edge of the fridge and pick them off from there. I have a standard white fridge and the magnets work fine and haven't scratched anything.

Hi, my walls were textured with many bumpy coats of satin paint and it worked great. In fact, the magnetic painted area became a thick smooth surface, but I used the whole can for a small area which was a very thick coat.

Yes, it is smooth. I use mine on top of a tablecloth, but you shouldn't have any problem with it.

I didnt try it on refrigerator........but probably, as it is said to stick to any smooth surface

i do not think it will work on a textured wall.you should check with the seller of this item.we purchased it and used it on a flat wallregardsmikewww.stonetechnologiesinc.com

I haven't but I would think it would be too "soft" a surface to be able to roll out gum paste thinly. If you were going for thicker pieces it might but I would still recommend a more solid surface. Perfect for rolling out fondant though-it is my go to item for that.

This worked well for my sink, but I would be hesitant to use on a fridge/appliance. if the surface you were cleaning already had swirl marks than it would probably be fine.

I do not know about that surface, it sounds like it is not smooth. The material used does not have a sticky backing...it is static cling. Mine was applied to a painted surfaces.

The surface is textured, like a very fine pebble finish. I use mine mainly for putting hot pots on to protect my new Corian countertop, but I have also used it as a cutting board.
