<p>I bought a used stove/oven for cheap, then discovered when I got it home that it is almond, not white. I had planned to use it anyway, but now I think I'll try powder coating the original stove, which is in very nice condition. Sorry it took to long to reply. I was traveling.</p>

<p>I had my stove top and fan above powder coated three years ago and both still look fine. I use a smaller owner operated powder coater and ask him to include items in his next run of the required color and tell him it's cash, no receipt required. I've used him numerous times and the cost has always been $20.00 flat rate. He's already being paid for the run so it's no effort for him to add in a few extra pieces within reason. For the stove he told me to sand off all of the gloss/shine. Powder…</p>

<p>Thanks to everybody who responded. I now have a greater appreciation of the process involved. The alternative is to buy new. They seem to generally cost about $250 at the RV surplus places (sigh).</p>

I'm with Lakota Wolf on this one from a money standpoint, and thanks for the correction on the porcelain coating R. Cobbs. I would personally use Lacquer thinner over mineral sprits only because it has a higher flash to it. Meaning it evaporates faster, leaving less oily residue.

I have gone with Light grinding, (to get the original bake coat off, (that was pretty much the only way I found to get that stuff off), then alot of sanding,, I cheated with electric sander to get the big stuff off,, then went down to finer grit, down to 200 grit for that baby butt smooth finish. A good wipe down with mineral spirits, air dry and at least 3 to 4 coats of HIGH HEAT primer, followed with HIGH HEAT Automotive paint. Yes,, you will have to touch up every so often, (couple yrs usually). But its the BUDGET way and seems to work. With new colors comming out all the time,, The color you want is probably out there at your local auto parts store, or they can order it for you.</p> Stoves have a porcelain finis…tag:goodoldrvs.ning.com,2015-04-08:2093474:Comment:2529532015-04-08T21:06:54.665ZRichard W.

<p>Stoves have a porcelain finish where the coating is baked in a kiln making a very durable finish. I have painted my stove several times with different types of high temperature paint and I agree that you need to be willing to repaint often. Burner inserts may help to extend this time. There are companies that will re- porcelianize your stove, but at a substantial cost.</p>

<p>If you're going to go all the way and get it powder coated, then spend the extra and have it sand-blasted first. If not, sand til surface is smooth with 60-80 grit, then 150, then 220, and dust extremely well between coats.</p>
