changing dishwasher front panel

I have a 3 year old Whirlpool dishwasher model GU3600XTSQ2 which has a white exterier [stainless interior]. I'm now making changes to the kitchen and going to stainless appliances...anyone know how involved it would be to change out the front panel of the DW to a stainless one? I'm totally happy with the DW, so trying not to buy a new one. I've can order a replacement front panel in stainless for around $120, but I think I'd need to replace the top control panel section also, which I was told is another $174. I'm thinking that has to include all the electrical control stuff, not just the cover plate thingy? Not sure how it would look if I left the top panel as is, with white surround, although all cabinets are white, so maybe not too bad? OR....has anyone used the paint kits that could re-do my existing front panel? Thanks!
