Default Durable paint for the inside of a microwave oven

Unless there's a spill that I wipe out, I only clean the oven every

it out, and I never have any rust.

Isn't that baked on paint originally?


The paint on my washing machine was baked on but the e-pox-ee spray
paint I used was as hard as new and never chipped. It's amazing but
it's so.

How will handle the smell of paint
when painted and oven is used. Ordinary new ovens can be had for ~100.00
of less.


100 dollars is a lot of money for some people. You never seem to
notice that. A half-can of epoxy paint costs 5$, and you'll find out
how much it smells when you're done. I'd venture that after a day's
drying or two and 20 minutes boiling water, even to make coffee, there
won't be any smell. This group is home repair, not home buy new.


I agree about the buying new bit.

I'd suggest the epoxy paint. But let it sit for at least 24 hours, or
48...

I had a MW that rusted around the rollers under the rotating tray. It
was getting real bad, and I was going to paint it too. The MW died
before I got to painting it. So I had no choice but to buy a new one,
because the main board died and was not cost effective to repair.
Actually the part was more than twice the price of a new MW.

Apparently they only sell parts to suckers and idiots....
