Sticks like shxt is great stuff a few squirts on the back of the mirror and apply to wall you might have to hold it onto the wall with some tape until the gripfix has gone off.

I personally paint them the way described above but another option would be to get top quality metal paint in the colour of your choice and spray them lightly a few coats, seems a lot of hassle to get the big sprayer out to spray 2 radiators

Cowboys / toshers paint metal down pipes with masonry paint, professional use undercoat and gloss or metal paint, take my word if you paint metal with masonry paint it will start cracking and coming off within a month

Pretty cheap sleeve - the ones I use arroworthy or wooster are about £8.00 What paint are you using diy paint or trade paint ? Maybe for the first coat you could thin the first coat down with some water and this will allow it to roll on easier and not dry as you are painting it on...

When I started as a Painter and Decorator 33 years ago, it was mostly Permoglaze, then Dulux, then Crown, but new paints are coming on the market now ie Tikkurilla and as for farrow and ball its sooo expensive and most of the times you have to give it 3 coats. It all depends on the client...

I have been a Painter and Decorator for 33 years and have never had a problem with Dulux or Crown oil based yellowing. Are you buying the paints from a proper decorating trade centre and not one of the sheds ie b & q - because even though it says Dulux or Crown on the tin at b & q it is far...
