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

Skip the paint and get some thin UHMW poly sheet to cut a ring of and
glue down as a track for the rollers.


Thanks. That was the first thing I'd thought of, but the "track" is
depressed into the oven bottom and has sloping sides, which are also
missing some paint now, but maybe a ring of poly sheet as you siggest
will take care of the flat surface the wheels roll on and some white
paint will replace what's flaked off the sloping sides.

I think I'll try that..
