engine paint OT

i am thinking about picking up a vintage stove for the house. it is a 1950's chamber. the down side is that fact that it is white and the rest of the appliances in the kitchen are red. Would it be possible to use high temp engine paint on the porciline finsh? will it bake off or discolor? has any one here done something like this? i was figuring that if its good enough for headers it should work for a stove. what do yall think?

 

go ask antique roadshow...dang......

 

strange i thought most anything vintage was accepted on here.... silly me i guess i should just through that big old hunk of 1950s crap away and focus only on new s.s. appliances like everyone else. now lets see does anyone know how to chop the roof on a 32 ford.. is that all we can ask about on here?

 

I think you'd have a hard time making it stick to the porcelain.

 

WTF is this? traditional stove painting forum..?

sorry My bad..i didnt see the O/T in the title...am i forgiven?

 

do a search for chopped top 32 and you can find lots.

stoves are not done here.

 

Lighten up you bunch of rude fucks. There has been many OT post about vintage houses, furniture and appliances here on the HAMB. Sorry I don't have an answer about your stove, but if you do paint it I would love to see some before and after pics.

 

'Stove-Bright' mohave red...move along, move along, lol

or Shimmering-Rose

 

relax man..
this rude fuck said he was sorry

 

maybe this forum should be called this old house......

not being rude..just real.i hate coming on here to see hotrod post and have to slog thru the crap

 

here's my opinion , i don't think any paint will stick to porcelain...it's too smooth...unless you ruff it up with some sort of blasting ..will sandpaper do it?


as much as i love Antique Roadshow , the History Detectives may be the better guys to ask

 

i looked at the stove bright, its only matte finsh not the look i was going for.

I know that this was/ is way off topic, but as stated earlier i know there are quite a few threads on homes, garages, and signs that dont have anything to do with pre 65 cars, but what they do have is a desire to take something discarded, broken down and forgotton and make it personal and one of a kind. so does that idea philosophy fit in here?

 

heres a strange idea only open the ones you are interested in and dont say OT in the title. lets see today you looked a thread about a cigeratte lighter and gave a smart ass answer and then told some one to use the search function when asking about a rear end.on a plymouth in a differnt thread... boy you are a real help around here thanks for your support

 

Should have ask it this way;I have this old fender that was porcelained.The color isn't right.Can I repaint this.Oh,by the way it's real hot here so I was thinking heat resistant paint.Anyone do this?Thanks for your help.....

 

oh , xz53,don't get worked up about it.,, you are right , there are many off topic threads on here...from WWII aircraft to cletrac caterpillars with car engines in them. believe it of not , that one did not get locked..it's up to a moderator to decide if the thread has any merit. i'm not a moderator

 

I guess if you don't like what the thread is about then don't read it!! I do not have an answer for your stove question but I do know there are places that specialize in this sort of thing. Just google it and see what you can find. I came across a couple in the past when I was looking for parts for my old frig. Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for.

 

hmm, porcelain is a whole nuther beast. towards the bottom of the page: http://chimneysweeponline.com/porclain.htm

 

not upset at all.... i know that if it is possible someone on here has done it, or knows how. the knowldege of this place is amazing. i just dont feel like dealing with a smart ... who dosent have anything significant to add

 

What if maybe he was looking for a cool color to paint his garage fridge? Would that be wrong?

 

Yeah, gotta love when some freak out over OT posts, I agree that the title should have OT In in though. Maybe sand it down with somethin....maybe like a red or rougher scotchbrite and try some industrial paint. Im wondering if IMRON would be able to hold the heat. How hot do you think this this going to get?

 

i dont know the temp but youcan touch the side of the stove and not burn yourself when its cooking @ 450-500

 

regular auto paint will hold up to that.

 

If you can touch it while it's at that temperature it will surely handle paint. Figure out how to rough it (Scotch Brite discs) and shoot it with acrylic enamel.

 

ykp53,
Strip it down to nothing... media blast, best way to get porciline off.... then have it powder coated to match your other appliances. Powder coating is good to 800-1000 degrees, if your stove gets hotter then that you've got bigger problems.
my 2 cents

***side note, I'd much rather read about somebody trying to save cool vintage appliances, and asking worthwhile questions from like minded people; then read the sappy "my son held his first greasy rag today" posts.
