Another kettle question

Dec 12, 2023 Last reply: 2 years ago 4 Replies

I discovered some minor chips on my kettle. I also discovered that the kettle is the same colour as my car. I used a car touch-up paint pen to repair the kettle. Is this inspirational or likely to end badly?


The paint is highly toxic and you will suffer immeasurable agony for days before your inevitable demise.

Correction: Nah, you'll be fine.

I doubt whether the average chip repair paint gets subjected to 198 deg. bake cycles, so may well have a different formula from the paint used in paintshops.
