It still has that spray paint smell which is horrendous, and it amplify when it's i microwave stuff in it, like hotdogs. First of all I have no idea what kind of spray paint he used, so I don't even know if it's safe. Currently it's been 3 or 4 days since then and i've been reluctant to use it but I have used it a few times.
But how safe is it? without and kind of knowledge on what spray paint he used?

Are you saying that he sprayed the
inside of the microwave oven (inside, as in the cooking compartment) or did he just spray the outside cover?
I find it hard to believe he sprayed the inside so I would assume it was the outside. If so then there is no real issue health wise. Yes, there will be a paint smell for a while but as long as it wasn't some sort of lead based paint (which I suspect has been banned for a long time) then there shouldn't be a problem with the food if it's been 3 or 4 days since it was painted.
