Instead of repainting, how about picking up this coppertone dryer in Chicago and swapping the cabinet with yours?

I would be painting both washer and dryer. I'm only worried about durability on top - The exact reason why its porcelain in the first place. | ||

I have had some appliances professionally painted with great success. Also have changed colours on a few. In those cases, I had the porcelain sand blasted off first. Never had any problems, however I am not using the tops of my machines as a work surface. A painted surface, no matter how well it is done, will not be as durable as porcelain. That is why the appliance makers chose to make the cabinet painted (in most cases) and the tops porcelain. If you want to know how a painted surface will hold up, picture using the hood of your car, as a work surface.
