We recently moved and have found that some of the radiators in our new house have been painted over the years with what looks like several coats of emulsion paint in various colours.
We assume that this was originally intended to make the radiators appear to merge into the main wall colours but the result has been that we now have radiators which have a very thick coating of paint with rather course brush marks and the previous colours showing through in a some places.
If possible we would like to be able to remove all of this and then gloss paint the clean radiators. Is this a practical proposition for an amateur and, if not, does anyone have any suggestions for improving the existing surface so that it can be glossed over successfully. Many thanks, GSD
