    Tried searching a few things and couldn't really come up with anything....Has anyone here painted their wine fridge? I'm worried about light getting to it even though the glass is tempered and double pained to "keep UV rays out"...Considering painting it, just not really sure what kind of paint I'd need, and do you paint the inside or outside? Help.

    Why dont you go to an auto parts store and get some window tint. You could also cut cardboard out to size paint it black and apply it to the window that way it is removable if you ever wanted to.

    Just go get some black foam board and cut it to size. Looks great and no light.

    I taped some colored construction paper over mine. U could also use some beer stickers or empty six pack holders to cover it.

    Yeah, no need to paint. Just get black poster board and adhere it to the glass. Do it on the inside and you can't even tell it's there.

    I got a poster-sized sheet of black construction paper and taped it to the inside of mine.

    I've got black tagboard on the inside of my wine fridge's door. It's flush with the glass and held in place by the gasket. Took two tries to get it cut to just the right size but otherwise easy.
