Lower rack of my Mobile Maid is going to need attention sooner than planned. One good full cycle with detergent cleared away crud and stains leaving nice clean racks, but also exposed how much of the coating is exposed in places along with patches of rust.
Some persons swear by those little bottles of paint. Others swear at them because they complain after about a few cycles the rust starts peeking through even two coats of paint. Another option seems to be silicone self fusing tape: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DISHWASHER-RACK-... Since you lot have been at this longer am interested in opinions one way or another. Since these MM racks are NLA seems best to tackle the problem before it gets out of hand. | ||

Quite the timely post, Launderess...
As I was about to scrounge archives looking for info on not only material but colour match as well.
I've a KitchenAid Superba circa 1993 with same issues (as these models ALL apparently suffer to some degree). The thought of $200-ish for a used one on ebay (when the even appear there) is enough to give me a stroke. | ||

Tundra Blue, Mrs. Haines? See if you can scare up some Maytag (no relation) rack repair. Comes in a little bottle with a brush just like good old fashion White-Out.
Maytag was the only stuff I could find in a blue shade, and I found it at a packed-to-the-gills appliance parts shop that had a bunch of NOS inventory.
It was darker blue than the racks I was repairing, but better than the modern day gray or white stuff that ACE carries. | ||
