Painting a Wedgewood Stove

A vintage Wedgewood stove adds any amount of character to your kitchen, since these stoves were first released in the 1920s and many of the stoves on the market today were made in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Wedgewood stoves are gas stoves for the kitchen which come with gas burners, warming drawers, double ovens and griddle cooktops. If the paint on your vintage stove is peeling or cracking you can apply more, but must use specially designed stove paint that can handle high temperatures.

Instructions

- 1
  Open any windows in that are in the room with your Wedgewood stove and pull it out from the wall. Set a drop cloth around the stove and tape it to the wall behind the stove to prevent a paint mess.

  Put on your face mask and rub the paint stripper on with a brush. Wipe the old paint off with a white cloth. (Ref 2)

  Apply the tri-sodium phosphate to the Wedgewood stove’s surface with the cloth. Use a wire brush to remove any remaining paint or stains from the stove. Rinse the stove off with water and pat dry with a towel. (Ref 2)

  Shake the paint can for two minutes to mix the paint. Hold the stove spray paint 12 to 15 inches from the surface of the Wedgewood stove. Press on the spray button to release a light coat of paint. Move the can back and forth in even strokes to coat the stove. Apply several light coats of paint to the stove instead of one heavy coat. (Ref 2)

  Allow the paint to dry. Heat the stove to 475 degrees Fahrenheit three different times to completely cure the paint. (Ref 2)
