Stainless steel paint in a can; who'da thought? Thomas' Liquid Stainless Steel uses a system of base- and top-coating with special brushes, enabling you to transform your crappy 'fridge into a jerry-rigged Subzero, at least in looks. But the stuff ain't cheap; while Thomas will send you a 3" x 3" sample for free, covering 50 square feet will run you a hundred bucks.
For students looking for good fakery techniques--turning a wooden handle into a metal one for Prototypes class, for instance--smaller "craft kits" are available for $12.

Not to be snarky (nice fridge btw), but I think it's "jury-rigged." It originally referred to a mast and boom improvised at sea. Man that was irrelevant.
cosmo's right; "jury-rigged" means improvised, and "jerry-built" means shoddy. Mixing them doesn't work, as a matter of correct English.
