Directions DIY Coca Cola Freezer
Clean the exterior of the freezer thoroughly.
Cover the top and vents of the freezer with plastic or cardboard.
Apply two coats of red paint to the outside of the freezer and allow it to dry for 2-3 hours.
Afterward, lightly spray the edges with one pass and the bottom with brown hammered paint to create a faux rust appearance. Let it dry for two hours.
Once completely dry, relocate the freezer to its designated area and attach a vinyl decal and optional magnetic bottle opener.
Having an old credit card can be useful for smoothing out decals; take your time to apply larger decals to prevent bubbles.
