Painting a Washing Machine: Rustoleum Appliance Enamel Review

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Here's my step by step: thecarpentersdaughter.co.uk/renovations/before-after-rustoleum-appliance-enamel-spray-paint-review/

[@yolandatejada6329]

Great job would like to know what paint you used the name, eg, gray,, at the white one, we had 3 years old washers and it's going to rust the detergent area, thanks for your vedio had an idea to start the work.

[@ashleyburton8605]

I'm glad you saved the washing machine rather than buy a new one like most people of this throw away society seem to do!

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Amazed as I assumed it was destined for the skip, so I do wonder how many others would have assumed this too.

[@supermarketsweeps]

i see your point but if it gone rusty on outside i wonder whats going on on the inside ?

[@ashleyburton8605]

@@supermarketsweeps Just carry on using it until it stops is my approach

[@supermarketsweeps]

@@ashleyburton8605 yes your not wrong just for a safety reason good to take look under the bonnet just in case , last cheap one i had rusted out and flooded my kitchen

[@apurvanaik6346]

Hi all, plz tell me is it still working or not or my fully automatic washing machine have same problem with rust how can I apply plz tell me

[@glennanderson8783]

I am really surprised that you had that much rust after only 6 years of service! Oh well you took care of it in short order and the washer looks great. FYI - I have uses rustoleum products on my outside metal patio furniture for over 25 years and it always stands the test of time. Great job (as always).

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Me too! But I also wonder if this was caused as we didn't have a condensing dryer for a LONG time, making it very sweaty in there.

[@MtbEMS]

The Carpenter's Daughter any products that can be use on the machine as preventative measures to protect from the elements?

[@phildxyz]

After you cleaned it up, I'd use a 'rust converter' before I put the primer on. Something like Hammerite Kurust. This helps the primer bond and reduces the chance of the rust breaking through again. I've had some success with this method.

[@lordgarth1]

If she got it all off then converter isn’t needed but using it would allow her to not have to be so thorough.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thank you for the tips :)

[@cathydavies3526]

Thank you

[@I_Am_Michael]

good job. too many people would just replace the machine when all it really needs is just some slight elbow grease and maybe a tune up of sorts. we are such a throw away society.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Yes, so true! Half the problem is that many of us just don't know how, so hopefully this is useful to someone in the future :)

[@missstace777]

Going to spray paint my tumble dryer white now, as was giving it away as getting new kitchen, it’s yellow in bits and scratches, not much, minimal dents that will probably improve with the painting seeing as it will just all go white again, but I’m well pissed off, as I’ve promised my fridge to someone 😮, and now wish I’d just tried this first 😂

[@kylewilliams3926]

To Make sure your machine stay clean every month do a 90'c wash with nothing but decaling detergent to pevent mold and keep the door and the draw open to last longer and avoid low wash temperatures liquid can cause alot of problems e.g mold drum bearing Limecale I would recommend bio or non biological powder to prevent from happening hope this helps

[@mielekid.w1613]

OMG.LOOK AT YOUR DRAWER ITS SUPPOSED TO BE WHITE. ITS NOT 6 YEARS OLD

[@cathydavies3526]

My beloved zanussi is 40 years old.. 10 years ago when I moved house the removal men couldn't believe I was taking it with me into a gorgeous new kitchen.. but it's still working.. and looks even worse.. knew if I looked I'd find ideas to improve it if I looked lol.. Great video..

[@Dan-yw9sg]

"Shaking like a crazy woman!!" Too funny!! It looks fantastic! What a transformation! We voted for you on the blog site. Really enjoy your videos! Just as an FYI, I used this paint to repaint the inside of a refrigerator and freezer where it had rust spots. It works great for those types of repairs. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Haha, it's probably the most tedious part of the job shaking spray paint cans lol. And thanks so much for the vote - I really appreciate it :)

[@sharonmc5192]

I'm definately of the same mindset as you. I hate getting rid of stuff that's still working. Would a clear lacquer over the white have given it more of the "manufacturers finish' or is that just overkill? Good job though 👍

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks! Because all of the white absorbs all the light, I don't think it's needed at all 😊 you could try though I suppose 😀

[@MakeItSoph]

What a transformation! Awesome video Vikkie!

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks Soph! Never expected it to look as good, so will definitely do this again in the future :)

[@tammied1858]

Sooo it costs 500.00 more to purchase a white dryer versus a gray one. I bought the gray one and need to paint it white to match my washer. Thanks for tips, now I need to build the courage to spray paint my new dryer. I'll wait until after the warranty is up before painting it!

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Wow... that's quite some difference 😵

[@tedthornton7791]

Krylon Expoy paint for appliances works well. Be careful when considering ranges. Not just any paint is safe for ranges due to the exposure to high temperatures. Always read labels on paint cans.

[@eschwarz1003]

Thank you. So important for creating less burden on the Environment too (although careful w paints)! Repair vs replace! and save $, donate to an eco-non profit even if it's within your means.

[@sikkepossu]

That paint job came out quite nice! Like you already said, it might have been better to paint whole front panel to avoid any variations in paint finish.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks :)

[@ranjankc121]

Hi good morning...I did not knew that these could be repainted. Thanks to you, I know that now. Excellent 👌 work and my vote is with you...

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Me either! Something I've definitely learnt for next time if this ever happens again :)

[@TeeVeeZed123]

For use with rattle cans, purchase a ‘Can Gun,’ it’s a handle that clips onto the top of a spray can with a trigger, painting is much easier with one of those.

[@sharonmc5192]

Where do you get these?

[@TeeVeeZed123]

[@jlcollins7673]

I havent found one to fit the cans with the fatter trigger tops.

[@miketravis6149]

Rustoleum paint is a great product and have used it several times. Did you get that sheet of polythene from the movie Goodfellas? looks like somebody got murdered on it lol. Washing machines in my house have always just died but still look good. It doesn't even get a break on Xmas Day!! Great video again. x

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Lol, I have reused and reused that sheet spraying the fence panels 😂 And thank you :)

[@miketravis6149]

@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK I have a similar sheet in my shed after coating my fence panels and protecting my gravel boards. We had a bed and mattress delivered and the plastic that came off it was unbelievable. So save the planet and reuse. Your very welcome.

[@janesmith572]

thanks for this. l have such a good washing machine that is old and a bit rusty wow.

[@rossl2544]

good video, if you fold the masking tape in half to create a tube like piece of masking tape then stick that on the line you want to mask off it will give you whats called a soft edge meaning the paint edge where the new and old paint join wont be a sharp/stand out so much, you can then mask behind that in the normal way to cover areas you dont want to paint. you can buy soft edge masking tape off ebay but its not very cheap compared normal masking tape. id also recommend using a good quality masking tape that sticks, not the diy masking tape but automotive stuff which you can buy off ebay cheap enough as it has better adhesive on it and stops paint bleeding underneath the tape. the lumps on in the paint look more like a paint reaction to me (paint pickling) this caused by the solvents in the paint attacking the old paint causing it to lift off the surface and pickle up but it could have also been moisture on the surface before painting it or maybe some washing powder residue - cleaning the surface with panel wipe would more than likely stopped the reaction if it was moisture or residue , its also not ideal painting over powder coating as paints tend not to stick to it very well. also once powder coating starts to lift away you find it will come away in big bits as once the surface is broken it all tends to come away fairly soon afterwards

[@KevinWoodsWorkshop]

Looks great! Those shake moves must have come from the dance floor, and by the way your socks look great too.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

LOL.... I LOVE chunky socks haha... I never have enough :)

[@glenfordgreen3277]

You did a great job, it looks new

[@ThePolaroid669]

Why was your 6 year old machine so rusty? Mine is 22 and has only a minute amount of rust that isn't visible from the outside.

[@amcluesent]

Good idea. I've bought her indoors a new fridge as her Crimbo pressie. Can't wait to see her face light up when she opens it!!

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

😂😂😂 Make sure you've plugged it in for that to happen then 😜😆

[@laundrylad2006]

do i have to use a primer? i got some small patches at the bottom of my indesit one but i don’t have a primer

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

You could give it a go for now and seeing how it wears over time? Then you know what you need to do later.

[@marylazard3872]

U did a good job girl. Hope I do as u did. Thanks for sharing.

[@alexandrastevens8892]

I'm so glad I found this video, mines about the same age and has gone rusty in the same places. I had a washing machine before for literally years and no rust, this is my second machine thats gone rusty. They are definitely not made with good metal any more bur I will try this process as the machine is still working ok

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Good luck! Maybe they don't bother to prime them anymore before painting in the factory?

[@mrssilvas]

Good job

[@indesitlghotpointwashingma8305]

This saved my life thank you

[@normanboyes4983]

Shocking condition for a 6 year old washing machine. I suspect the drum seal is leaking slightly as witnessed by rust at around 2:12 around the edge of the seal lip. Good effort on the painting - however and being pedantic should have used a rust converter prior to painting.👍😀

[@sharonmc5192]

I did wonder that as well... Have you checked the seal?

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Havent checked the deal yet, but will do 😊 we had a leaky hose due to me not fitting it properly a couple of years ago and had to replace floorboards a couple years ago, so it could have been from that actually 🤔

I want to take off old paint of qashing machine and want to do rust oleum appliance epoxy apray paint on it.does i apply direct paint on machine metal body

[@andrewdavies1312]

I love this video. I did same but with an undercounter fridge. I changed colour so had to do the whole thing. Took ages. With the wife moaning we have no fridge whilst I was doing it 😖 Edit....I did it in 5 coats. Each coat was super thin. Also before your next spray project....buy a multi pack of can tips on eBay before you start. Then you can just bin a Shitty clogged one and they cost pennies each

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks so much for the tip! I think I'd moan about no fridge too 😂😂

[@filmbluff99]

Good job done. Another easy job to do on a washing machine, if you need to is to change the pump. You will probably find a YT video on a pump change for your particular machine. Typical price I think is £20 to £40 depending on machine for a new pump.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks for the tip :)

[@idi0tdetectioninprogress]

With the poor standards of today’s manufacturing, it’s wiser to prevent this from the outset. Any white goods made today, you know what’s coming, so best to keep them clean and dry always. Fair play this is a solution if the machines still working ok.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thanks! Agree about keeping them clean and dry! :)

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

Looks a neat job does that. Try turning can upside down and giving it a quick squirt into a bin or something to clean the nozzle, I do this when finished so the can lasts longer for another job.

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Thank you! The back of the can suggests inverting it to clean, but you describe it much easier to understand :D

[@x-gear1437]

3 years ago.. after all you should have sand it after primer and use paste for dents and sand it again before final coating

[@RomaniaOverpowered]

I have a top down Whirlpool washing machine. It's just 5 years old and it generated similar rust. Would you recomend some car filler to cover the bare metal, or is enamel the best way? I am wishing to do the same thing, because the washing machine is working as it did when I bought it new, and I don't feel like changing it. Was thinking of making it silver, to match the rest of the kitchen appliances. Also, I instantly subscribed because I am an avid supporter of repairing instead of throwing away!

[@starlat_random4167]

wow mine is like 14 and has close to no rust and most of it is all iron and i live in a very old building so its kinda always damp
