Painting a Nespresso coffee machine.

[Johnboy54]

Hi.
Got a brand new red and black kitchen.
Had a white Nespresso bought a few months ago.
The wife wants it painting red to match.
I'll be taking the plastic outer-cover off to do it. For anyone who thinks it won't come off... it will.
Most info I've found is aimed at the American market, with American products.
One person worried me a bit. They'd spray-painted some other appliance and it appeared to melt the outer skin of the plastic.
Obviously I'd try whatever you recommend on an area at the back of the machine.
Any advice? Preferably foolproof!
Thanks.
John

Perhaps they used a cellulose car paint or something with aggressive solvents?

Plasticote aerosol sprays are widely used in the home and perhaps more suitable. I imagine you will only be spraying very thin light coats so your solvents should flash off quickly.

Thanks for that, JohnD. Seems to be plenty of places that stock it, so that's me sorted.
