Our kitchen's GE microwave oven is still working fine, but the white
paint on the oven floor is cracked and peeling off where the rollers on
the round three wheeled carriage under the rotating glass dish have been
rolling over it for a few years now.

The bare steel is exposed and getting slightly rusted and the peeling
paint trail is widening. Its appearance mildly annoys me every time I
see it.

Anone know what paint(s) are suitable for brushing over the worn area to
improve appearances? Perhaps one of those little brush top bottles of
white appliance touch up paint would do the trick.

I'm thinking that because the paint is right up against a metal surface
it probably can't absorb much of the microwave energy and get heated anyway.

Thanks guys,

Jeff


I'd say if the OEMs coating (powder coating? baked on enamel?) there's
not much chance you'll be successful fixing it for any length of time.
If it weren't for those wheels, maybe. A mag-lev rotary table conversion
kit might help.
