98QBP0302 Microwave Cavity Spray Paint, 6 oz, Snow White

This works great to freshen up the microwave oven interior on my combo microwave and oven unit. I bought the Snow-White paint color. Its quite expensive to replace the entire combo microwave and baking oven unit that is 10 years old. The microwave works fine as well as the lower oven for baking.The upper interior ceiling of my microwave began to start flaking paint. Probably because we let uncovered cups of water and liquid steam up into the microwave ceiling. Then didn't do a good job of drying of the microwave moist areas with a cloth.Anyway, I read reviews and tips on Amazon of other users and followed the instructions.I turned the power off at the Breaker Panel for the task.I spent a good hour in prep work using blue painters' tape and newspapers to cover the outer areas around the microwave and oven doors to prevent overspray. I was unable to take the microwave outside as it is part of a wall unit. But I also sanded down the microwave ceiling and a couple of vent spots that were flaking. Removed any paint flakes and sanded residue. Then, I thoroughly cleaned the microwave ceiling and walls, and base level. Covered over the unit info label, microwave relay cover.Then I sprayed lightly to start in the ceiling area. Then I went ahead and spread the interior walls and bottom level too. I used light strokes and wore a ventilation mask. The Snow White color matched exactly with my microwave interior. The paint fumes are very strong.I waited about 30-45 minutes and sprayed another light coat. Then applied two more ceiling coats over the next hour afterwards. I waited about 6 hours and applied another upper ceiling coat and then one final coat after another 30-40 minutes. Then let it sit for a full 24 hours. The interior looked very good with matching and felt good by touch. A little coarseness, but nothing significant. I turned the power back on from the breaker panel. Then ran a quick 30 second test to see if the microwave was working ok. It was fine.I actually waited another full day before using the microwave for any heating or cooking items. All is well and it looks brand new inside.Now we are covering cups and containers with liquid to avoid steam and moisture from collecting inside and the ceiling. Also, doing a quick wipe down with a dry cloth on the ceiling afterwards.Its been about a month since I repainted the microwave. Everything looks good and there are no paint issues with flaking.

Honestly, I'm not sure if food safe spray paint really matters, but I didn't want to risk it. I have a microwave that is about 20 years old and over time, the revolving tray had wore away some of the paint at the base. I simply used painter's tape and newspaper to mask off the areas I didn't want to spray and gave this a quick coat. It seems to work well. Just let it air out and keep your microwave open for a few days before you use it again. After a day, I didn't smell anything paint related.

Bought this for my microwave and followed the instructions carefully. Really did a lot of prep work on the entire inside and redid it all, although the seam in the back was really the bad part. So after everything was all sanded down and clean, I sprayed it per instructions. Worked pretty well, small spray can made it fairly simple to apply. Sprayed out smoothly. and covered fairly well. (spray can was barely enough to completely spray the interior). I have a nice white microwave interior again, although this paint dries to a sort of flat finish, not gloss like the factory paint. I don't care for that due to the fact that it might make it more susceptible to staining and somewhat more difficult to clean. Time will tell. Otherwise, no issues... I recommend.

Awesome.

Like any painting job, preparation is the most important thing and this microwave cavity paint is no different.My microwave/oven is built into my kitchen, so I was very careful in every aspect of this project.Turn off all power to your microwave before you start any of this activity. The next thing to do is properly cover any internal microwave spots that could collect dust or paint chips. this can be done with painters, tape, newspaper, or some other type of covering so when your painting commences, you do not have splatters and spotting where you do not want it.Now for the actual work …First, make sure that all flaking and rusted spots that are issues in your microwave are scraped and sanded. I would start with 100 to 120 grit sandpaper to remove the majority of paint from the flaking or rusted areas. From there you can work your way to 220 grit just making sure that you have sanded any rough edges to make a smooth clean transition when you paint.If your microwave is a countertop microwave, the best thing you can do when painting is do it outside or in an open air area. As I mentioned My microwave is built-in to my kitchen so I made sure that I covered all areas where any paint splatter, or overspray could occur. This cavity paint does have a very strong smell, and that must be taken into consideration. With that in mind, I did not apply this paint in heavy layers. The first layers I put on were very light layers, making sure that I covered all my sanded areas and edges. I am very specific in how I do some of these jobs so I took a number of days to apply many clean, thin layers, ultimately resulting in a clean almost factory like finish.My built in oven/microwave combination is a single unit with a replacement cost exceeding $3000. My choice in this situation was a new oven/microwave combination or a $15 can of cavity paint. I am so happy that I bought this paint and repainted my microwave as it looks and works great. I saved myself a huge expense in replacing an oven/microwave that were still in great working condition.Good luck!!
