Dishwasher Rack Coating is Coming Off

I have something by Rust-oleum called "Appliance Touch-Up. It's a small bottle that looks like a bottle of nail polish. You could go to their website at www.rustoleum.com and ask where you can find it. I'm thinking I could have found it at Wal-Mart. I had my husband use on my dishwasher rack where some of the vinyl coating had worn through and there was bare metal. So far so good and it's been a while since he did it. Also there's an 800#:

UPDATE...
I found what I was looking for, "ReRACK", it is sold at some ACE hardware and other stores. It costs about $7.00. I called a local ACE hardware store and they did stock it. If you have a ACE hardware store in your area and they don't have it, ask if it can be ordered.

You can find information about "ReRACK" and other products on their web site. I find this site very interesting for solving some household problems. Most of their products can be bought in participating stores. Just check their web site for locations.

In the past, when I used ReRack, I matched the color with my rack. This time I won't do that because you have to apply a second coat. Since the color matched the dishwasher rack it was very difficult to see where the first coat was applied.

It is a good idea to use "ReRACK" when the tines on the dishwasher rack starts to show signs of wear. If you wait too long, the problem can get worse and it is more difficult to repair. Replacing a dishwasher rack is expensive.

Thanks for the reminder! I need to do this myself! I bought a can of Plasti Dip at Home Depot in the paint department alongside the spray paint. I used to get it in a spray but haven't seen that for a very long time. Only downfall is you can only get it in black and red. It was about $6 for a 14.5 oz can. It can be used for coating anything. I need to fix my dishwasher rack and have some cheap pliers and etc that come uncoated...cheaper to buy uncoated and do it yourself. You will find a lot of uses for this stuff.

Amazon has this for $4.99 + $3.00 shipping. It is a worthwhile expense to repair your racks. I did this repair myself maybe 7 years ago as my racks were rusting in spots and the racks are still good today.

You could use the coating they use to fix porcelain bathtubs (I just got some from the dollar store) - or thick coats of cheap white nailpolish - or go to the auto supply store & buy white auto touchup paint!
