Who says you need a big budget to give an old appliance a stunning transformation?

One crafty customer has proved that wit and a tiny budget are all it takes to bring a dated fridge back to life. The shopper shared on social media a before-and-after snapshot of the fridge she’d given a striking $7 Kmart makeover.

The woman captioned her post: 'I wrapped my old bar fridge with the Kmart black vinyl.'

She further explained the method for her project, saying she carefully sanded down the handles and other plastic components of the fridge that couldn't be wrapped and wiped away all the dust before applying Kmart’s Permanent Vinyl – Black.

Those sanded parts were then sprayed with a coat of Flat Black Paint+Prime Spray Paint purchased from a hardware store.

Many praised the woman for her efforts, with some saying how it looked like a professional project as the fridge looked 'brand new'.

'That looks amazing!' One exclaimed.

Another said: 'This is such a professional job!'

While a third said: 'Now this is the first makeover I’ve actually liked with the vinyl.'

'This is a brilliant idea! I’m gonna do this too. Thanks for the inspiration,' a fourth added.

However, the remarkable transformation stirred up a debate, with sceptics trying to cast doubt about the authenticity of the change.

Some even suggested the images were a different refrigerator entirely.

'That’s a completely different fridge,' one person said. 'Why [are] you lying?'

'It seems almost unreal,' another added.

While a supporter said: 'Take this negative comment as a positive, you've done such a fantastic job that someone thinks it's a different fridge!'

In response to the scepticism, the original poster shared a series of step-by-step images of the transformation process, offering a resounding answer to any doubters.
