My 72 Tradewind is looking pretty good with upgraded interior etc. Would like to match the black plexiglass on the new Dometic fridge with a black glass panel over the pitted/rusty door on my still working Magic Chef Oven/Cooktop.
Anybody got a diagram on how the door comes apart? What glass to use (tempered I assume) and how to glue or attach it to the old door? The handle has to come off and reattach over or drill through the new glass?
Thanks
You can paint your stove door with appliance epoxy paint. Follow directions carefully. We used it and when we sold our travel trailer ten years later the paint was still perfect. Gives a nice high gloss baked on finish. We used black high temp paint for the burner pan. We purchased the paint at Sears. Be sure you get epoxy paint for appliances.
Not being a pro at the spray paint can technology the black Epoxy Appliance paint had a few runs that were from overdoing it. So what do I do, let it dry a day and lightly sand the affected area and then put on a new coat with a lighter touch? Any ideas from you pro's would help. Think I'll also remove the grey cover on the stove and give her a coat of black too.
Yes, it is a spray paint. You can take apart or use tape. Sand lightly after it has dried completely. Use a tack cloth, you want the surface to be dust free. It might be a good idea to buy a can of cheap paint and practice on something else first. Good luck!!
So I lightly sanded with 150 grit over the bad areas with the runs and made things worse after spraying a coat over it. Now there's a huge area the looks rough and uneven in two parts of the door. Any thoughts on this ?
I may have to now. Was trying to do this without taking the door apart but looks like I'm in for that now. May if I take it out get black tempered glass cut for it.
