My Kitchenaid mixer is over 40 years old. It's the original almond color. Time for a change! Thanks for this great video ❤. Now i just need to decide on a color. 😊
Beautiful results!! I just remodeled my kitchen, going from primary colors to blush pink, and my Granny Smith/green apple Kitchen aid just isn’t cutting it anymore!! I wondered if I was the only crazy woman out there wanting to paint my mixer! So comforting to know that, in fact, the world is full of crazy women!! LOVE IT!!!
This is gorgeous, what a great job you did choosing the color and finish! I was just looking at the Kitchen Aid website and they have beautiful ceramic mixing bowls. One of the white patterned ones would be a really pretty accessory for your machine. You've definitely inspired me to do mine!
I have been thinking about doing this for yeeeeeeears, but never felt brave enough to start taking apart that expensive piece of machinery. I think I may tackle it now!
We don't have the sticker on the back on UK models but we do have a small plastic 'stopper' thing to protect the body when the head is tilted up. Great video you mixer looks great
How has this held up a year later? I got a mixer for a great price on facebook marketplace, but the color is a little meh. Thinking about painting it. Curious how the spray paint has done after time and with use- it looks so good! And I love the color you chose.
Thank you! Overall the paint has held up nicely. There are a few spots where it's come off a bit, but I'm pretty sure that's because I store it in a cabinet and have banged it as I get it out of the cabinet, multiple times. If I did it over again, I probably wouldn't have painted the knobs. They've held up okay, but don't look as great as I'd like. Maybe going in with a better paint/primer would have been a better solution. I also wouldn't have sealed the bottom plate where the bowl goes just because of the constant moving of the bowl. Plus no one really sees it, so it's really no big deal. I hope that helps and good luck if you decide to paint your new-to-you mixer :)
Moving and want to do this to my red mixer so bad! This turned out really lovely. The Joanna Gaines mixer is what I'd love to have but haven't found that color anywhere :(
Thank you! And I know, same. That's the look I really wanted, but I couldn't find the right spray paint. If you decide to go for it, I'd love to know how it turns out!
So psyched I found this video!!! I have the same exact kitchen aid in shiney deep blue but mine is about 20 yrs old & it has paint chipped away & I hide it these days because it’s not an appealing piece anymore… it originally was my mom’s and at that time that deep blue was very popular and it looked really good… but now it needs an update and I’m so sick of caring it to and from the garage that I’m going to basically step-by-step follow your directions and I love the color!!! My kitchen is darker, so I’m thinking maybe more of a grayish matte…hmm… actually I do like the shine, especially with a dark kitchen how well do you think a glossy seal would hold up or look? If you ever read this, I don’t know Good for you for taking a risk & inspiring others like me! Stay tuned!
Please help. I did the repainting job same as you, sanded and used primer then painted. As soon as I put it back together and tilted the tilt head the paint started scratching at the points where the two main parts meet. Also noticing lots of peeling from moving it around etc . Seems like the paint isn’t sticking. I used a clear coat as well but didn’t seem to prevent these scratches
I'm so sorry that's happening! While I've only done this once, I did watch some videos and did research before I did it and the only thing I can think of is, did you use a type of paint/primer/clear coat that is made for painting metal? Also I'm wondering how long did you leave the paint job to cure before using it?
Thank you! Overall it's been pretty good. I will say that I should've skipped painting the knobs or at least did a better job sealing those up, as well as the plate on the bottom where the bowl fits. I've had some wear on the edges, but that's honestly because I have to keep it in a cupboard due to the lack of counter space I have and have knocked it and scarped it several times. But like I said, overall I'm happy and I'm glad I did it :)
I am asking several people the same question; along with my little trip to Catos, parking lot to purchase this new KitchenAid. I bought a new Kitchen Aid yesterday by a young man who works at Walmart. I bought this for $170 "brand spanking new!" Yes SirReeBob! With the box still taped up! His mother got 2 KitchenAids, 1 from her son & 1 from her husband. So, the young man put it up on fb Market place! And yes, I bought it! Now mind you, it is gray, not my cup of tea, so I want to paint it. My question is, before painting your mixer do you have to sand it? Can I paint it without sanding due to the color? Thank you
That's a great deal! I highly recommend you sand it if it's got any sort of sheen to it. The reason for sanding is to create a surface that is easier to for the paint to really adhere. However, you could use a really good primer prior to painting and a good sealer after to ensure you get really good adherence. Ultimately it's up to you, but I'd love to hear how it turns out after you finish it!
ANY OIL, ALCOHOL, BUTTER, WD-40, MINERAL OIL, or alcohol will remove the adhesive from anything. But what you should have done is use a hairdryer to warm up the sticker with the adhesive and then remove it. You’d be able to reapply the sticker after that. I’m pretty sure with repainting your mixer in USA is voiding your limited lifetime warranty (whatever that limited warranty means).
Good point, I never thought about the warranty or reapplying the sticker. My mixer is over 10 years old and still going strong, so hopefully that continues and I don't have to worry about it!

Wow, that's amazing! Have fun making it over :)
I feel like the Matte seal spray really pulled it all together that was such a good idea 💕💕 now to convince my husband to let me do it lol
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Good luck! If you do it, I'd love to hear how it turned out!

Thank you! And you're not the only one. I thought about it for YEARS before doing it and it made a huge difference!
Beautiful results and I love the color you chose!! This gave me a little more confidence to try it on mine
Thank you so much! Good luck in painting yours :)
You need to keep that out, that is so pretty. Great job!
Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I really would love to get one of those ceramic bowls; they're so pretty!
I have been thinking about doing this for yeeeeeeears, but never felt brave enough to start taking apart that expensive piece of machinery. I think I may tackle it now!
I felt the same way!! I'm so happy I did it though :)
woah!!!! love this!!
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful!Love the new color!
Thank you so much!!

@@thesimplehomeplace she really needed to sand it good like you did, so the paint would stick well. Sanding is key on smooth, shiny surfaces.
Gorgeous!! How durable has it been since you've done it?
