You know, those things can be painted. I have a buddy who used to do that and learned the business from his dad. They did kitchen and bathroom stuff, mostly for apt complexes, they'd do appliances, bathtubs, counter tops, cabinet doors, etc...

We had a KitchenAid French door bottom freezer (intentionally with no front water/ice dispenser) for many years and now the kids have it in their house. It's possible that I may have replaced a part or two on it at some point, but I can't remember for sure. I really like the bottom freezer and the French doors.

I always seem to have an anecdote about any given subject given my tenure on this earth. In 1983 I bought a foreclosure house with my then new wife (still married). We had been renting a house with appliances so had no fridge. I was on a job where a lot of remodeling was taking place and the Amana fridge was available at a really good price. Having moved in the new house with no fridge I was anxious to get this home. Only trouble was it was brown and my wife did not like it much. We didn't have a lot of money with most of it going into fixing up the repro house so it stayed and stayed. Wouldn't break. We lived there for 10 years.

Appliances (painted) can be refinished. I don't have any idea how much it would cost to just do a fridge, and I've never (that I know of) seen the results, but it's possible.
