should I piant the hood above my stove?

Question

When I moved into the home that I now own there was a metel hood above the stove. No fan/vent or light but at least 20 coat's of paint. It's taken me forever to get all of the paint off but finally!!!! Now someone told me if I don't put some sort of paint on it, it will rust once it is put back up. Is this true and if so what do I paint it with??? I Know I would want it to be something clear, thank you!!!

Answer 1

If your worried about rust but like the look of the bare metal, you can use clear poly urethane to coat it. It comes in spray cans or you can use a brush. Its a very durable finish. You dont have to worry about using something for high heat. If the flames get high enough to blister the vent hood paint then your kitchen will be on fire, and the hood will be the least of your worries.

Answer 2

Try home depot. They have paint not sure about a cleart one I made the mistake when we bought here of spraying mine with easy off! The paint is for high heat comes in a spray can and cost about $4.00 you need for a 30 inch vent hood about four cans.

Answer 3

Ammonia will artwork. placed newspapers over the the excellent option of your selection, and rub difficult with a nylon scrubby or a sponge with the scrubby layer. I placed on vinyl gloves and open a window as quickly as I ought to apply ammonia. from time to time the "Scrubbing Bubbles" foam for lavatories will artwork. do exactly no longer mixture any product that incorporates bleach with the ammonia. Neutralize the ammonia via wiping the wiped clean section with white vinegar once you're completed. stable success!
