Not really. The door is only about 2 years old and it's metal. Shouldn't need painting for many years.

Maybe you should remove all the paint and just have the metal shining in all it's glory for all the neighborhood to see. That would be a neat look I've never seen before.

Just kick everybody's ass. You'll be sure to get them.

Shit like this is ****ing irritating.

I need a new fridge. They don't make fridges under 30" deep anymore. The fridge that is dying is 27" deep including handles.

:LOL: Not a bad idea. I'll just go door to door and start kicking asses. Although the downside is that I might get tired out after awhile.

Seriously, I'm thinking I need to put a motion light on the back of my garage. Funny thing is that this same crap happened several months ago. They hit every garage on my block except mine. That one had me baffled.

Not exactly sure what you're getting at. By deep, do you mean measured from the front to the back? Is this a problem because you live in an apartment and can't fit anything over 27" deep/thick?

Correct. I might be able to fit something a little larger than 27, but not sure.

Can you not buy one and take it in with the doors off, then reinstall them back on?

I saw just checked the sears site and see they have several that are 29" deep including door handles.

If the problem is getting the fridge in, it isn't usually too hard to remove the doors. We used to do that all the time to get fridges in when I was doing apartment maintenance.

If paint thinner isn't the best method, what other solution is there?
You could try this stuff, it's available at most paint stores.

If you have any carburetor cleaner around it might help too. Get on it ASAP before the paint fully cures.

I'll have to check that out. Usually the 29" deep ones are very small. I need at least 17 cubic feet.

The problem is not getting the fridge in the apartment.

That's what I was thinking. It's kind of pain in the butt to do that. But he might not have any other choice.

Here you go, my large cranium aquaintance.

Lowes also usually has some great financing options and prices on appliances....6 months no interest..stuff like that.


if you just need to get it in a smaller space, measure first, but its only a couple of pins or screws to remove the doors. A donkey fan could figure out how to do that if a raider fan was reading him the directions.

I might look into that stuff. Although it may take off the garage door paint. It's looking more and more like I'm going to have to repaint the whole door anyway. Uggh. I absofreakinlutely hate painting.

Use it sparingly, your garage door is probably powder coated which is a much tougher finish than spray paint. If it's not weathered and dull you should be able to get it off without too much harm. If it does dull the finish like Phobia warned, you might be able to shine it up with some car wax. Good luck.
