I have the same issue with my KDS-14 and I haven't done anything to it yet! So we're at least two waiting for answers! A friend of mine has used white paint from POR-15 to repair a washing machine tub and he had a great result but I also wish I could get something with the blue speckles. I also thought about automotive epoxy primer and paint spray painted in but I haven't tried anything yet! I'd also need to find a new door gasket for mine.

So does anyone have an opinion on the re-finishing? Powdercoat? Basecoat/Clear? I'd have to think either would hold up well considering vehicles endure harsh winters/weather for quite some time. | ||

 I'd recommend a product called White-Coat - it's made by the same folks who make POR15 (a rust paint that is used in marine and other applications); it's not cheap and I'd caution anyone using it to not mix up a large batch when using it. Also, the surface to be repainted may need to be roughened for best results. You may not be able to find this everywhere, but you can order it on-line.
I used it on a 1966 Inglis washer tub two years ago - the machine is being used regularly and I am amazed at how well it is holding up. | ||
