I looked at all the threads with custom paint and decided to keep it original and vintage. Picked up the fridge on CL for $125, the taps with pulls and stems on ebay for $20 and couldn't be happier with the end result.
How did you drill through the door?
As in, through the inner and outer portions?
You could: Mark your locations that you want your taps on the exterior, eyeball the interior panel and see if the location will work for you, (ie: flat enough, not in a radius that will cause you a problem, etc...), Make a pilot hole from the exterior through to the interior, using an extension bit, ( a LONG drill bit), go to the interior and figure out how much room you need around your shanks, so that you can easily secure them to the metal door, ( give your self room for a wrench and your hands to fit in the interior "cutout"), cut out the interior, make a "close out" box around your through the door "penetrations".
Then, open up your holes through the skin to your shank or tap size, whatever you need.
I don't know the sizes, but there is prolly' an el cheapo "unibit" out there to meet your needs.
OR:
Lay it out the same way, pull the inner door skin and the ensuing fiberglass insulation mess, and make your cuts / modifications to the inner skin.
Wear a dust mask when screwin' with the inner liner and fiberglass insulation!
