What you will need
- Washing machine
- Rust-Oleum Appliance Enamel
- Rust-Oleum Surface Primer
- Newspaper / dust sheets
- A cloth
- Masking tape
Steps
Unplug and empty your washing machine and remove it from the kitchen into an open space where you can reach all sides. Ensure its surface is clean and remove all traces of dirt and grease with hot, soapy water and leave to dry.
Ensure the area in which you are working is well-ventilated and cover the area with newspaper to protect floors / surfaces. Use masking tape to protect parts of the washing machine such as switches and dials that you do not want to be sprayed.
Sand any areas where paint is flaking and where there is bare metal or rust, ensure this is treated with Rust-Oleum Surface Primer.
Spray the washing machine evenly with your chosen colour, using steady strokes from left to right, keeping the can moving at all times.
Ensure you follow the instructions on the can. Rust-Oleum Appliance Enamel is available in white and stainless steel.
