Painting an old appliance?

IMG20250123140432.jpg

Is there a way to paint an old kitchen stove? Everything on it works it's just the cosmetic aspect, apparently that model had an issue with the paint not adhearing to certain parts of the cabinet. Obviously I need something for steel that is heat resistant and safe for use on hot appliances.

Evening @threemonkeys 

Now this is a right hand turn and twist the head and look at a job :smile: Interesting for sure. I really dont know, Im thinking it needs to be enamal, needs to be able to blend in with what you have still on the stove. And needs to handle heat. 

 

I dont know of any particular paint off the top of my head. However I do know of a page in the great blue F social media world called The 1910 Ironworks  He restores cast iron stoves and does really nice work. He paints them or sends them to be painted? I would suggest to maybe follow him and ask some questions about enamel paint. 

 

Would be interested if you find something that works and holds up :smile:
