  • Give your appliances a fresh, factory-like finish with specialized appliance paint from Ace Hardware. Whether you're updating a washer, dryer, refrigerator or dishwasher, our selection of appliance epoxy paints and touch-up solutions helps you achieve professional-looking results that last.

    How Is Appliance Paint Different from Standard Paint?  

    Appliance paint is specifically formulated to provide superior adhesion and durability on metal surfaces. Unlike standard paint, these specialized coatings are designed to:

    • Resist chipping, scratching and fading
    • Withstand frequent cleaning and moisture exposure
    • Maintain color consistency over time
    • Handle temperature variations without peeling
    • Provide a smooth, professional finish

    By contrast, regular paint may not bond as well to appliance surfaces and may bubble or peel when exposed to high heat and moisture.

    Colors, Sizes and Considerations for Appliance Paint

    Our collection includes options from brands like Krylon and Rust-Oleum offering both full-coverage epoxy paints and precise touch-up options.

    • Color: Choose from classic white and black appliance paint or explore almond and bisque shades to match your existing appliances.
    • Size: For smaller repairs, our touch-up paint solutions come in convenient sizes perfect for covering scratches and minor blemishes, while spray paint and large quart cans are best for large projects.
    • Rust prevention:Rust prevention paint provides additional protection for areas prone to moisture.
    • Heat resistance: High-heat enamel paint is ideal for stove surfaces and heating appliances.

    Tips for Working with Appliance Paint

    To get a smooth, long-lasting finish, proper prep and application are key. Here’s how to do it right:

    • Work in a well-ventilated space and protect nearby surfaces with drop cloths and painter’s tape.
    • Clean surfaces thoroughly with a degreaser to remove grease and residue, then lightly sand for better adhesion. Wipe clean with a tack cloth.
    • Use a bonding primer if painting over glossy surfaces.
    • Apply thin, even coats and let each coat dry fully before adding another.
    • Paint in mild conditions (50–85°F, low humidity) for best results.
    • Allow 24–48 hours curing time for light use and up to a week for full durability.
    • Consider a rubberized or clear topcoat for added protection in high-wear areas.

    Can You Paint Stainless Steel Appliances?

    Yes, you can paint stainless steel appliances, but it's important to use the right paint products and follow proper preparation steps. Stainless steel has a smooth, non-porous surface that makes it difficult for paint to adhere. Lightly sanding the surface and applying a bonding primer designed for metal will help the paint stick.

    For best results, use a high-quality appliance epoxy or enamel paint that resists heat and moisture. With careful prep and the right materials, you can achieve a durable, updated finish that complements your space.
