How to Cover a Dryer That Is Scratched on Top

Wipe down the surface of the dryer with paper towels to clean and remove dust from the top.

Buff the scratch lightly with sandpaper to prepare it for a good bond with the appliance paint. Wipe away any residue with paper towels.

Apply porcelain touch-up paint on the dryer scratch using the small applicator brush built into the cap on the paint bottle. Allow to dry completely, at least two hours.

Purchase a cloth dryer cover and fit it over the entire appliance.
