GE Appliance - Touching-Up or Repainting Old / Damaged Appliances
There may be the occasional need to touch up a scratch or chip in an appliance finish. You may be considering repainting an old appliance. In most cases, the exterior on painted appliances may be repainted or touched up.
General Information Regarding Touching Up or Repainting Appliances
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 enamel. Small touch-ups are generally more effective, 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 or Advantium Oven. For more information, visit our Microwave - Cavity Repair Needed Due to Arcing, Chipping, Peeling or Scorching article.
Two different shades of white have been used over the years. Snow White has been used since 1980.

To locate places that may offer repainting services, check your local yellow pages or check the Internet for: Appliance Painting, Refinishing, Refurbishing, or Restoration. Some automotive body shops will also handle painting appliances.
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 Appliances Parts by calling 1-877-959-8688 or order a part on our GE Appliances Parts & Accessories website. 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.
