Appliance paint is a specially formulated paint used for appliances. Appliance paint can be used on refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers and other small appliances. You can buy appliance paint at your local hardware store or online. Appliance paint is available in a brush-on formula or spray.

Read labels carefully when you are deciding which paint is best for your project. If you are painting appliance that generates heat, please make sure that you get the correct paint for heat resistance.

Brush-on types are recommended for smaller scratch type projects. If you are planning to recolor the entire appliance, spray will be the best choice.

Before you begin, read the instructions on the label carefully. The appliance will have to be prepared before the painting process can begin. If you do not follow the instructions exactly, your project may not turn out the way you anticipated.

Make sure that you are going to do this project in a well ventilated area. Larger appliances that require more time painting, will need to be outdoors. If you choose to paint inside, make sure all doors and windows are opened. The paint fumes will need to escape, so they will not harm you. Wear protective gloves and eye protection while painting.

Appliance paint can be purchased at you local hardware store or online.

Everything You Should Know Before Attempting Any Home Improvement

Sears and the Environmental Protection Agency have announced that the retailer will be working with the EPA to offer recycling services for refrigerators and freezers. Sears is joining the EPA's Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD) program, an effort to properly and safely take care of appliances that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which destroy ozone and trap greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson stated in the release, "When consumers buy new fridges and freezers from Sears, they can rest assured that the ozone-depleting chemicals in their old appliances will be disposed of properly." Mark Good, the general manager of Sears Home Services, the division of the company that will be in charge of the recycling program, made a similar statement. "Sears Home Services is excited about being the first retailer to partner with the EPA in its Responsible Appliance Disposal Program." He continued by explaining that Sears led the industry in developing energy-efficient appliances so the recycling program was a "natural extension of that."

The RAD program will ensure that refrigerants and other chemicals involved in the foam that insulates refrigerators and freezers will be recovered in a safe manner that will prevent CFCs and HFCs from escaping and damaging the environment. Additionally, the RAD program will also recycle or dispose of other substances that may be harmful if released, such as mercury, oil, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). PCBs are known carcinogens that do not break down naturally in the environment.

The RAD program is just one of several partnerships between the EPA and retailers and manufacturers to protect the ozone layer. Another program is the GreenChill Program, which is a partnership with the supermarket industry to adopt new advanced refrigeration technologies. The goals of the GreenChill program are much the same as the RAD program, in that CFCs, HFCs and greenhouse gases may be mitigated through safer handling and more responsible stewardship. CFCs can break down the ozone molecule, which in turn allows more ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth. The increased UV rays increase the incidence of skin cancer, as well as harming crops and marine life.

The EPA estimates that over ten million refrigerators and freezers are disposed of every year. The RAD partnership hopes to take care of at least one million of those. In addition to refrigerators and freezers, window air-conditioning units and dehumidifiers also contain ozone-depleting substances (ODS). The EPA is inviting other businesses to join the RAD program, offering assistance in recycling technologies as well as recognition for the effort.
