Had fun with one of my latest arcade-related projects . . . transforming a $30 dented mini fridge I bought off of Craigslist into a beverage dispensing Pac Man. :) I got the fridge wrap from http://rmwraps.com/mini-fridge-wraps/ and used a 3.2 cubic foot fridge with a stainless steel door. Since the decals are customized, I'm guessing most sizes would probably work. The vinyl was a similar thickness to that of the side art that Rich sells at This Old Game. I've applied a fair amount of black vinyl, medium sized side art, and even full side art on cabinets, so I thought that the application would be a walk in the park. It wasn't. The side/top art comes in one large decal that has a separation in the backing that lines up with one of the fridge side edges. Either because of the guidance that gives or the fact that the sides aren't stainless steel, the side/top art went on very easily with few bubbles. Applying the decal to the stainless steel door was more challenging, with bubbles being much more prevalent than I've experienced before. With patience and lots of lifting and repeating (and a pin prick to a particularly stubborn bubble or two), it came out well. If I were to do it again, I'd try to wet method for the door.
