I love a retro look and when it comes to buying appliances that have that look there are a few cool ranges of appliances and prices that are relative to standard looking brands. If you are buying a fridge or stove which already has a high price, getting one with a retro look it can add on a few good pennies to it!
The stove in the new house is practically new and in good working order so there was no reason for me to replace it. However, I really wanted a retro looking stove.
Another issue I had with it was that it was white. If I buy appliances, I usually opt for silver/grey instead of white. White just sticks out like a sore thumb to me especially since the house is build like a studio with a loft sensibility- the kitchen is open to guests from the second you enter the house so we wanted something a bit 'WOW'!
I had seen many options for painting a stove, fridge, or washing machine so I knew I wanted to go that route and Marko picked the colour which both Zach and I loved so it was a win all round!
I used Hi Heat spray paint from Spraymate to colour my stove and it worked like a dream. As we use the stove and have to deal with wear and tear I would like to see how it holds up but at least the cost and application of it was a great and the final product was exactly what I wanted.
Spray paint designed to handle heat like this one can handle temperatures of up to 340 degrees so its perfect for a webber, braai, or oven.
It cost R104,92 for 250ml from Chamberlain and I needed 3 cans to cover the surface properly.
First I taped up all the parts I didn't want to spray over like the stove tops, indicators, the glass on the the oven door, and removed the knobs.
