Can I use my Dulux Diamond Matt Emulsion on radiators?

[DIYNotIan]

Hi all

The product spec says no.....

But I know a lot of people use general/basic emulsions on their rads. So how about the Dulux Diamond Matt? Anyone tried it?

Failing that, the woodwork is being painted with Sikkens Rubbol BL Satura so I could use that instead if it would be a better choice.

The rads are previously painted, so would also be helpful to know if I should go straight on with the paint or prime first (I have some Zinsser Bullseye 123).

Many thanks

Use the sikkens it will give a much better finish than emulsion, just key the surface and prime any bare spots.
