How to change color of stove and other appliances in kitchen?

We are moving to a new house and taking our 3 year old white refrigerator and my many other white small appliances with us. (All are 3 years old or less). Problem is that the place we are moving to has a built in stove, dishwasher, and microwave that are black and 3 years old as well. Any suggestions? Can you reface all of these appliances or am I going to have to live with a mismatched kitchen for quite a few years?
I have painted a dishwasher to match my other appliances. I masked off the areas that I didn’t want to get paint on and used cardboard on the cabinets (taped up). I used a can of Krylon and it looked great and lasted. Now Krylon makes appliance paint. I used it on something…forgot what now. I don’t know about painting a stove. It may be easier to paint the fridge black. But it you can’t paint and have to use black and white, it won’t look bad at all. Accent it with reds and yellows. It will distract from the colors and don’t fret too much. I lived with Coppertone for years and then at the next house I had a white fridge, a harvest gold dishwasher and a green stove….YUK
Replaced the stove (it was just a drop-in) Bought one very cheap from the classifieds. Painted the dishwasher.
Now I am in another house and have matching appliances…..but I have a pink bathtub and tile…oh well, just learn to work with it….
Good Luck in the new house.
