I picked up a Kenmore Gas Dryer, the back of the drum has paint coming off. Is there a paint I could use to spray on to make it look better? |

Drew and Dan are right my daily dryers are a 1978 WP mark 12 [ witch has lived on the screen porch for the past 10+ yrs] and a 1975 LK both gas dryers and neither have very much paint left on the drums and its never caused a problem. I have repainted many or at least touched up many dryer drums for cosmetic reasons and this has never caused a problem either. Buying unnecessary stainless steel is just enriching the chinese as most of the nickel is coming from there these days. A US built WP dryer will last aprox twice as long as a GE or for that matter a new Frigidare dryer. A new WP could last 30 to 40 years ask the guys who repair them.
