Touching-Up or Repainting Old / Damaged Appliances
In most cases, the exterior on painted appliances may be repainted or touched up.
General Information
-
Textured surfaces can be repainted or touched up.
-
We do not recommend repainting ranges or cooktops because they are a baked on porcelain enamel surface. When exposed to heat, painting such a surface will result in cracking and peeling after a period of time, the paint will not adhere to the porcelain. Small touch-ups are fine, though.
-
There is no touch up paint for Stainless, CleanSteel, or Black Stainless. CleanSteel surfaces should not be repainted.
-
We do not offer a paint to be used on the interior of a microwave and Advantium. For more information, visit: Microwave - Cavity Repair.
-
Two different shades of white have been used over the years. Snow White has been used since 1980.

Scratches and Small Touch-Up Areas
-
Touch up paint comes in small tubes or paint pens; some colors offer spray cans.
-
Paint can be purchased through GE Appliance Parts by calling 1-800-626-2002 or order a GE Appliance part online. To order larger quantities of spray paint, please call GE Appliances Parts.
-
Touch up paint cannot be shipped overnight.
-
We do not give do it yourself suggestions on painting other than to follow the instructions on the tube or spray can. We suggest only using touch up paint for small areas.
-
We do not offer anything larger than a spray can.
