My travel trailer fridge inside door shell was all cracked. I took some fiberglass mesh and fiberglassed it. Is there any kind of paint i can use to paint it? I'm pretty sure i can't use regular paint cause of the coldness in the fridge when it's running. It's not really that big of a deal if i can't paint it. I just figured it would be a nice touch to cover up my repair job.

Once the paint is dry, I don't think fridge would be cold enough to effect it.  I would look at the paint, they sell for painting plastic lawn furniture, I can't remember if it's rustolum or krylon brand.  A auto type paint could also work.  IMO having paint stay on the plastic part, would be more of an issue than the cold.  I would pop door off and paint it outside.  I would also let it dry real well, to get rid of paint smell, before I would want it in fridge.

Thanx guys. Yeah Robert. Once i fiberglassed it i had to leave the door open for quite a few days to get that eye burning smell out of it too.
