Just decorated my front room which included giving the bay radiator a fresh coat of white satin radiator paint. Finish is pretty good, but as the bay is big, it looks like a big white block in the room as the rest is a kind of claret colour.

Can radiators be painted with emulsion? Or is this doomed for failure? If it can be done, is it simply a light sand to key and brush it on?

Thoughts appreciated

I did all the radiators in my last place with the same satinwood paint I'd bought for the skirting. Looked fine, and did not discolour in the further few years I was there.
 
Car paint? That has to withstand getting very hot under the summer sun and you can get any colour.
