# Repairing Chipped Enamel on Your Stove
Chipped enamel on the surface of your stove can diminish the appearance of the appliance while encouraging rust formation on the exposed metal underneath. Repair kits containing appliance touch-up paint are available in different colors to fix this problem. Buy the kit at an appliance or hardware store to match your stove color as closely as possible. Write down the stove's brand name to help identify the best color match.

Dry the damaged area with paper towels.

Shake the bottle of appliance touch-up paint to mix thoroughly.

Unscrew the cap on the paint bottle. The thin brush is attached to the underside of the cap.
