I wish it were that easy. I have yet to see anything like a paint or home improvement store here. This is not a big D.I.Y. society. Everything around here is done by a specific contractor. I swear my co-teachers stared in awe as I fixed a cabinet door myself in our break room. It was the talk of the school for a week. The door was hanging by one screw. I grabbed another and a driver and fixed it. Jaws dropped.

Well, you didn't say it was a refrigerator. You said HOUSE paint, for WALLS. I wouldn't use house wall paint for that anyway. The school supply/art stores will have spray lacquers in a rainbow of colors. Have at it.

theres a paint shop just down the road from me...never been in there so i dunno if they sell in small quantities or whether theyre a wholesale type deal.

go to naver, type in your local subway station name in korean and lob in the word 페인트 and it should show you a map with paint stores in your local area

There are paint stores all over this city. Just roll around and look for one. There's on directly across the street from my subway stop. I'm sure you can locate one. Since you're painting a fridge why don't you go to an art supply store and hook it up nicely with a design and good paint?
