My Re-ment Red Re-painted Miniature Kitchen Appliances

This is part of a project I've been working on for just over a year now. I did my own little wish list of what I hoped Re-ment would someday make, the ultimate kitchen set. I realized that many of the items had already been made in different collections. My next wish was for all of them to all match in color and in scale (yeah right), well at least painting them made them all the same color.

 

My original thought was to mimic some of the older sets where there were 5 regular sets and 5 special sets. Each box would have one appliance and one or two other kitchen items. My 5 regular would be red and 5 special would be stainless steel. Over the course of the year I added many items and many more colors. It's actually a bit on the silly side, but I had so much fun finding new items and painting them new colors that I just kept going and going. :)

 

Due to my lack of digital photography skills, I've only taken pictures of my Red Appliance Set so far. The red set is the set I went crazy on and added items to that won't be in any other color set: the rice cooker, toaster, coffee maker, hot plate, motor & pestle and utensil set are all special to my red set.

These were all painted with spray paint. It is not special for plastic paint. In using a good primer, I could use any color spray paint I wanted. I used a primer and top coat from the same brand as the paint color. I have shared some painting tips in a discussion on the Re-ment Addicts group discussion page.

 

The background is one of the red kitchen counter and back splashes that I painted with a stone effect spray paint. I covered the sink section and it is now counter area.
