Can gas burner stove top grills be painted?

You can, but you have to find food-safe grade paint that is high-heat tolerant.

Hi there, yep you can purchase high heat paint - look for it in the fireplace and masonry area of the store.

Take each individual burner grate and put it in a gallon size freezer thickness zip seal baggie. Add 1/2 cup ammonia to each bag. Take or do this outdoors. Seal the bag, let it set overnight. The next day take each out and rinse off outside.

The fumes do the work and not the ammonia liquid.

I do half of my burners so I have at least a half of stove to cook on...a 2 day process.

The ammonia/plastic bag recommendation has worked well for me for the dirty grates of my outdoor barbeque. Sounds like that's an excellent next try step.

I would give the ammonia and plastic bag trick a shot before buying new grates. Just be sage and do all of this outdoors and on a sunny or warm day so the ammonia sort of has the time and power from the heat of the sun to cook them clean.

If you do end up painting them please be sure the paint is high temp and food safe.

Spray paint rated for barbecue grills or for engine blocks will work. Should be about six dollars a can, the most.

Here's how I clean my gas grill caps. I get Oven and grill cleaner at the dollar store. I put the capps in a large zip lock bag and spray them down really well. Seal the bag and let them sit in the sun or overnight. The heat from the sun will react with the grill cleaner. I do this once a month and my gas cook top looks great.

You can also order replacements from your manufacture or at Repair clinic.com

I wouldnt paint them. Clean them good. Save up and buy new ones when you can. Toxic burnt paint fumes in my house, oh hell no!

Hello Amazing. Yes, the grates on your gas stove can be painted. Be sure to use a paint that can withstand high heat. Sand them first so they will accept the paint. Buy enough paint for a couple coats. Good luck.

High heat paint will not work in direct contact with flames. It will just burn off and the fumes can be harmful. High heat paint has a temperature range of 500 to 1500 degrees while a gas burner flame is at 3000 degrees. Here's some info.

Your welcome. If you can't clean them then go to https://www.repairclinic.com/. They have repair guides, schematics, and sell parts. You might be able to get replacements for a low price. It's my go to place. My oven would not heat. The igniter would glow but burner would not light. I thought it was the safety valve that was defective. Repair clinic stated that a weak igniter is the common problem. So I took a chance and for $27.00 was worth a try. I connected the new igniter per instructions and my oven lit up. Cheaper repair than a $159 safety valve and/or new stove.

If you search the internet for the grates you may find that you can find some in better shape than yours for a good price especially if your stove is an older model you could also check with used appliance stores they may sell them to you at a good price
