Wrapping / respraying small items - W.London recommendations

[Steeve]

I have a random thing I'm trying to do. I have this coffee machine and I want to change the colour to a cream that'll match my kettle!

Got me thinking, someone who wraps small interior bits on a car should be able to manage this. Either a vinyl wrap or a respray could do the job? At least that's what I think but wondering if others think otherwise!

A few notes
- I like the machine and alternatives in cream are close to £200 so trying to save a few bob!
- the outside of the machine does not get hot like a kettle when in operation so a vinyl wrap wouldn't be heat impacted
- the curves on it cause the biggest concern, it's a plastic case, not sure of a spray would be better than a wrap

I'm in NW/West London any recommendations for someone who does wrapping for small bits also appreciated.

Might be cheaper to get a new one, and you will have lots of spare parts.

I did think that, and that's what got me thinking of alternatives, i.e. even if I botch it I'll be getting a new one anyway, so why not try!

I mean how mad would I be to try something like this?

Go for it!

I have quite a few items in my home that I have spray painted and wrapped to better match the decor. Most have worked out well. Here's a few pics:

Cooker knobs were aluminium, I sprayed them copper


Towel holder was steel


Lazy Susan was white marble, I wrapped in vinyl


Digital frame was black, I wrapped it in gold (SWMBO request)

Love it!

Thanks, am off to find the right spray paint, think that'll work better than a wrap

Without knowing what shade of cream your kettle is have you looked at Plastikote Antique White spray paint? Or you can also get PlastiKote Hydro Spray Paint in Cream Gloss.

I've used it a few times on our boat, internally and externally, the finish is far superior to normal spray paint.
