Deborah - I've read conflicting reports about painting inside of a freezer, including the fact that the paint may not adhere to the surface. I did, however, find this paint at Home Depot. Good luck!

Hi Kate,

There are special procedures and precautions used when painting plastic, and the fact that heat is involved raises other issues. I'd factor in what it would cost to try and paint your toaster, vs. buying a new one.

Does anyone have any tips for painting a toaster? Mine is a "cool touch" toaster with plastic on the outside. I'm not sure if I can just use paint for plastic or if I need something that's heat resistant. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Carr,

You want to use a rust inhibitor or rust prevention product such as Rust Away or Naval Jelly. I suggest you talk to your local home improvement specialist to see what they recommend.

Hi Sue,

Make sure you follow the instructions on the label. For most appliance paints, the best way to apply them is to use an airless spray gun in order to avoid brush strokes. These basic tips should help:

Keep paint at room temperature in a dark dry place
Apply light coatings at intervals of 15 minutes or so
Leave paint dry for at least one day

Hi Elaine,

The paint you are looking for is made specifically to adhere to appliances. You can check with your local home improvement dealer and ask what brands they carry, or you can check out appliance paints found on the internet.

The epoxy appliance paint should work fine for you, but of course with going from black to white you may need several applications to get good coverage. It's probably worth a try, especially if you're just going to get rid of it because it's black.

Moving into a house that has a brand new wall mounted microwave. It is a good brand but it is white and everything I have is black. I really want to keep it but I was not sure about painting it. I need to paint the white to black. Brand new any suggestions?
