painting kitchen appliances?

1. They make paint specifically for this: Touch up paintis one thing, your question was rather vague. frigidaire.com has touchup paint for I think less than 5 bucks. Spray paint is available at buy.com. type in "appliance paint" Krylon sells spray paint. It's an epoxy paint. I think I remember reading somewhere that not all appliances can be painted though... be careful. I think stove painthas tobe heat tolerant.... someone on the discovery channel had a car paint place do theirs.
2. what about painting kitchen appliances???????? if you mean how?? it depends on what type of appliances your talking about??? can you give more info about your question please...
3. Certainly it's possible, and has been shown on TV home make over shows. I wouldn't advise it but you may have moderate success. Keep in mind that the appliances may come from a factory with the finish baked on or specially prepared for long term endurance. That would be especially true/possible on a stove. Refinishing may not give you the same sheen, quality, endurance, or desired effect? On a refrigerator for example, if I was going to do the job I'd find a very smooth sand paper, even a wet sand type. Id scuff the original finish gently, allowing a better base for adhesion of a new finish, then I'd spray the areas in question. Keep in mind again, the appliance finish originally, is very much like a vehicle, and designed for the long term. After market, or after the fact changes in color/texture/design, by a howmowner, may not achieve what you desire. Rev. Steven
