I have heard of folks having warped doors if the steel doors go into an oven. You might try talking to an auto body shop or other industrial painter about doing spray - no heat. Good luck. Be sure to consult with professionals that will take proper environmental and safety precautions. Good luck.

My wife and I own a 1953 mid century ranch house in Nashville. The house has the original small set of Youngstown cabinets. After months of obsessing on craigslist, we found a complete set in Knoxville for a mere 350.00 to add to our existing cabinets. All the cabinets need to be repainted. I hoped to have them powdercoated, which would look great and be very durable. However, after painting the cabinets, they are put in an oven to bake the paint on. I cant open the cabinet doors without damaging them, but I think there is cardboard or paper inside them. That would be bad in the oven. Any idea what is inside them? Anyone ever repaint metal cabinets willing to share tips? Stay classy Brian & Keri Nashville, TN Hey Pam-
