Got a bigger microwave for cheap (like free). HUGE inside, but paint is chipped, blistered inside. Anyone done, or know of the correct paint to paint the inside?

I would either use an engine enamal, made for painting car engines, or look for a specialty appliance paint.
I don't think a normal houshold latex or oil paint would stand up to the heat and humidity of a microwave.
I could be wrong though.
Many paints contain titanium dioxide and that will arc and spark and be an absolute disaster.
Awe come on that sounds like fun.

I did it with a mason jar, cork, and a toothpick. Real easy to do, and it's neat-o. Put a little water in the oven to keep the waveguide from cooking itself, of course.

I'm curious as to why that would be. It's usually electrical conductors that cause that behavior.
