Default Micro Wave open paint

Have a micro wave oven that on the inside the paint is peeling off. Wondering if it can be repainted?

Not sure I would trust any paint where food is involved, you could get those vapors in whatever you are cooking. If I did have to guess, the best choice would most likely be an epoxy appliance spray paint. Home Depot sell it, Rust Oleam makes it. I have used it, very tough.

You'll get vapors from the drying of paint. But, the finish itself shouldn't heat up, during cooking. Because, microwaves affect fat molecules, way before they affect others.
Here, an alternative way of painting the inner walls of a microwave, using Rustoleum:

I've never seen a microwave oven that was painted on the inside...I thought they were all molded plastic.
