"repaint" inside of microwave

Jul 18, 2005 6 Replies

Hi all,



Is it okay to "repaint" inside of microwave? That is because the paint inside is peeling off and rusty.



If it is safe to do so, what type of paint?



Thanks

I'd want to be using a hi-temp paint, preferably enamel, and able to cope with a damp environment.

How about engine enamel?

For the benefit of the OP, here is a microwave repair FAQ:

"Special microwave oven cavity paint is available but any common gloss enamel will work just as well (and costs about 1/10th as much). Use touch-up paint (with a small brush) or spray paint. The typical color is beige, almond, or some other form of off-white - just match it to your oven (if you care)."
