I watched on hgtv where they popped out the front & put a self-adhesive stainless steel-like "paper" on it ....but I don't know what it's called or where to find it. Also, I don't think my front pops out. The DW is cream w/ plastic control panel & flat press buttons. If I used appliance/plastic spray paint, the buttons would still be cream. My fridge & stove are stainless/steel/black. I wouldn't mind going black except for those cream buttons. It's a Kitchen Aid DW, about 6 yrs old. Also, my sink is cream - ok to ignore that??
