Teaching3bears Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The top of my dryer is scratched and discoloured. From what I understand if I want to paint it I have to use a special epoxy appliance paint. I have googled and apparently these paints are pretty toxic and can sometimes emit fumes for weeks. First question: if I use this paint will it get scratches on it too if I continue to put my scratchy laundry basket on top of it? second question: Has anyone painted an appliance with regular paint or high gloss paint? Did it last? Did it adhere? Any other solutions? Would contact paper work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Even before you said it, I was thinking about contact paper. I am not sure how it would handle the heat, but I would absolutely try it first. If you look on Amazon, you can find some super cute prints that would look like you did it just for the fun of it, and not to hide something underneath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 What about a silicone mat in the right size? https://www.amazon.com/Supmat-EPHome-Versatile-Silicone-Counter/dp/B079M966K3/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=tray+for+top+of+dryer&qid=1624327104&sr=8-10 I'm not sure this link will be the right size but you might find one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 How about just covering the dryer with a towel to both hide the scratch marks and protect against more in the future? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
