| I am in a quandry over my ovens. One is on its last legs and the other has been used very little. But they are both white with white glass fronts, so probably impossible to paint. |

| Auto Body shop might be able to paint them. |

| Maybe get them powder coated. Not sure how/if the glass comes off. Powder coating I think requires baking. Oh how ironic. |

| I can't remember what your ovens looked like... can you just replace the door? trim kit for it? |

| No Marti, after the negative comments on GW I gave up on the idea. I feel bad for my magic chef, we love him b/c he cost $160(plus a $100 ignition a few years later) but his color needs pep ! I think he's almond or bisque..Poor Mr. Magic. I think you can only paint the areas that don't get hot or you need a custom paint job. I think Shades is right about an auto body shop. I remember reading something on the internet about it but it wasn't worth the moving hassle and $$$$ for this oven for me. |

| Hi Marti, I found "our" question answered...see link :( Many people have asked this... A. I found this on that Stove Bright website. Looks like we all should start shopping for a new unit : Q: My (oven/gas range/electric range/stovetop) has a glossy porcelain coating which I want to recoat. Will your high-temp paint meet my needs? Time to burn another receipt, |
Here is a link that might be useful: finishing website

| That's too bad. I was hoping you had done it and it worked out great. I am so mixed on what to do. My white appliances look too stark white next to the darker cabinets to me. But my stainless dw is driving me insane with the finger prints and drips. I absolutely don't want black. My mil has black with dark cabinets and I don't like it either. I just don't know what to do. |

| I completely understand Mrti. Every color affects another until it's an avalanche. You pick one color or stain and then something else looks off... Keep the white for now and at some point after you are well rested(you are doing an awful lot of work) look into your options. Some appliances come in "clean steel" which I think doesn't show finger prints. I too prefer white to the black any day. In fact I wish I could buy a vintage gas stove in...white LOL. |

| Marti--Weimans Cleaner/Polish was recommended on another thread to keep stainless looking good. Have you heard of it ? |

| We use Weimans Cleaner on our glass top stove and it is wonderful. I use it about once a month and polish it up good. then against directions I use windex to remove grease or spills after cooking in between time. You can feel when the polish is used up and then I polish it again. |
|
| I use Weimans on my glass stove top too. I've never thought of using it on my stainless, but I might give it a shot. Though I doubt it will stop the drips and fingerprints. lol |

| Marti mine says for Glass cook tops so I suppose there is one for stainless too. Maybe not the same cleaner but brand name??? |
