Hello Everyone!

My microwave was making a burning smell and I'm fairly certain it's coming from this burn mark on the door/interior. Something must have gotten caught there and burnt. Some of the paint even ended up on the door. I have tried to clean it and the microwave no longer makes a smoking smell but I'd like to repair it. I believe it's as easy as sanding it down and using some touch up paint. I however cannot find the right paint!

Any idea what paint to use? Most appliance paints are for exteriors and I can't find something for interiors. Also is this the right fix?

Thanks!!

Here is a paint for the microwave oven cavity. The size is kind of overkill for the spot you have but at least it's a smaller 4.5oz can, not a full-size one.

I found another in a smaller container with brush in lid like fingernail polish which should be close in color.

Thank you!

I found a couple of black touch-ups if you wanted to do the door as well.

The door is plastic. Would those work if that's the case? I'm hoping I can take a razor to it and scrape off the white paint that melted there.

It looked metal from the pic. Parts of the door are plastic, other parts metal.

If it's just stuff stuck on the surface of the plastic, hopefully it can just be scraped off. Doing so shouldn't hurt its functioning.
