Yoo-hoo Bethann! I know Bethann has some experience with that. | ||

I agree, I'll not do the electrostatic thing again either. I thought it was too heavy of a paint coat all at one time (runs and dribbles) and I asked for bright white, but ended up with a more of an off-white. I paid very little for it so I don't care, but next time will have it done at a body shop for a true professional look. If you can find the pics of RickR's Kenmores, they are a very good example of how good it can get.

Rick, I may have asked you this before.... Did you basically supply him just the loose lid and outside "shell" to paint? | ||

Sounds like this will be an interesting and fun experience. A fresh professional paint job will look great. Turning new technology into a flash back it's like the best of both worlds. | ||

Wow Rick, I didn't realize you had the turquoise Kenmores that long! I had been wondering what you washed with after the Orbital Maytag was gone... | ||

Hi Austin! I got the 61 Whirlpool in March of 2003,and had it finished in April of 2003.That was the first classic used,after selling the Maytag. I found the Kenmores in April of 2003,and had them finished at the end of June of 2003.The Filter-Flo came along about the same time the Kenmores were finished also. It was a busy Summer that year. Seems like it was a long time ago,but that is only two years.Time flys when you are having fun!! (: | ||

I guess my main concern here is with the stove. What's best to stand up to the heat of the oven? I cook a lot. | ||

Burpilator, you have two options
I would sell your stove and look for a vintage model in the color you want. They turn up fairly often. Or if you do not want a vintage stove,you can purchase a reprodution in the color you want.See the link below. Best of luck! Rick CLICK HERE TO GO TO rickr's LINK | ||

Rick's Kms Rick, Did you have the top of the washing machine painted? Wondering how paint could bond with enamel. Thanks, Darrel | ||

Hi Darrel, Yes the tops have been repainted also. They were scratched and faded beyond saving. No rust anywhere however. The tops were media blasted to remove what was left of the porcelain enamel. Then they were treated with an acid primer,paint primer,and then the paint. The cabinets were sanded,primed and painted. The paint is very tough and scratch resistant,and with care will last a lifetime. Rick | ||

Bethann ... that's a GORGEOUS range!! How great to have it! That work space next to the burners is perfect for raising bread dough. Do you cook a lot? | ||

Hi Geoff! I cook everyday! And for someone that has convinced her husband that she needs four kitchens... I would get my ass kicked if I didn't! LOL! I just can't wait to get them all done so everyone can see them! | ||

Sweet Bethann! My favorite range is a toss up between yours and a GE Stratoliner in the same color. I have been looking for one for years with no luck! Congrats! | ||
