I am finished decorating the mixer… for now.

Front view - two bands of flames on the top, one band along the base.
Top view - the white tail cone fared poorly among early surveys. One person said it looked like the mixer had “tan lines.” I redid it in red, and added a stripe along the to of the mixer.
Side view - I added flames around the outside of the bowl holder and the base. If I’m ever inclined to spend more time on this, I would paint the power switch red and add a special “11″ setting.
The food processor was a little jealous. Since I had 25′ of flame decal left, it got a little decoration.
… as did the Crock Pot
Perhaps the Tivo is next?

Lessons learned:


  • White appliance paint shows scuffs and dirt.

  • Next time, I will search a little harder for the flames decals. This dude sells KitchenAid-specific decals sets for slightly more than I spent for the three cans of paint and the car decals.

  • Don’t paint on a breezy day. I had to redo two areas when the newspaper blew up (and stuck) onto the tacky paint.

  • Yellow paint and red decals looks the best.
