If you want to modernize a dated appliance or to coordinate the colors of your appliances with your kitchen's color scheme, why not paint it? Painting is much less expensive than buying new appliances and the process is relatively easy.
For a successful do-it-yourself appliance update project, your first step is to be sure to choose the right appliance paint. You'll need paint especially formulated for household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, microwaves, and dishwashers. You can purchase spray-on appliance paint, which is best if you are painting the entire surface, or touch-up appliance paint that can be brushed on to cover scratches and chips.
These appliance paints are not for use on or near surfaces that get hot, such as stove tops. For those surfaces, be sure to purchase a heat-resistant paint.
Also, if you want to resurface the inside of a microwave, you'll need a specialty appliance paint formulated for that purpose. You'll also need specialty paint if you want to recoat your dishwasher racks.
Here are five appliance paints for a variety of do-it-yourself appliance-refurbishment projects.
Whirlpool Appliance Spray Paint. Whirlpool knows appliances. Its brands include Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef and others. In addition, it makes appliance models for Sears/Kenmore. Therefore, if you want to repaint your appliances, why not use Whirlpool's acrylic appliance paint. It comes in a 13-ounce spray can and can be purchases at www.appliancepartspros.com/Whirlpool spray paint.
Thurmolox Stove Paint. Thurmolox is a high-quality paint designed for use on surfaces that get hot, such as stoves, barbeques, gas grills, hibachis, wood stoves, stove pipes and andirons. It is fast drying and long lasting. Most importantly, it is heat resistant up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit and resists blistering, peeling and flaking. For porcelain stoves, paint the surface with Thurmolox 290 paint and then cover it with Thurmolox 293 high-gloss paint for a porcelain-like finish. Order Thurmolox paints at www.alvinproducts.com.
Microwave Cavity Paint. To resurface the inside of your microwave oven, you need specialty appliance paint formulated for this purpose. This spray-on paint by QBP comes in a six-ounce canister in snow white (a bright white shade for newer microwaves) and pearly white (an off-white shade). Purchase it at www.appliancepartspros.com.
Appliance Touch-Up Paint. If you only need to touch-up scratches, chips, dents or worn areas on an appliance (other than a stove or other surface that gets hot), you'll need acrylic touch-up appliance paint that can be brushed on. Purchase touch-up paints made by Whirlpool in a variety of colors at www.appliancepartspros.com/Appliance Touch-Up Paint.
Vinyl Touch-Up Paint. While you are updating your appliances with paint, don't forget the inside of your dishwasher. If the racks need some recoating, use vinyl touch-up paint from Whirlpool. You can purchase it at www.appliancepartspros.com/Vinyl Touch Up Paint.
