If you're brave, apparently you can repaint it yourself using appliance paint. I did a Google search for "repaint kitchenaid stand mixer" and a bunch of pages came up with instructions about how to do it. Results in photos look great. Who knew?

I would really be afraid I'd make a mess of it.

Just bring it to an auto paint shop. It's inexpensive and will last a long time.

I would retire it, and purchase a new model in the color of my choosing with the new attachments, especially at the TSV price today.

It would be interesting to know what they would charge. mine has a lot of chrome so there would be a lot of prep work for them.

On many levels I would never do that! 1. it was my Mothers 2. They don't make them this well any more 3. I don't just throw away hundreds of dollars when I don't need to.

If that's the case, display it and use it and be proud of it the way it is. Isn't that the whole point that it is old?

Buy a pretty cover for it from etsy. I bet you can even find a vendor who will do a custom cover for it, if you really want that.

You guys are AMAZING! What great ideas. I never would have thought of them. This is why I love to read posts here.

We have what is apparently a more valuable mixer than my more recent Kitchen Aid. I have an older Hobart mixer - white - and in almost perfect shape. Works like clockwork, and doesn't have a scratch on it. I only bought a newer one for the variety of beaters and later I bought the glass bowl. After looking around I am amazed at what the old Hobart is worth.
