Painting Storage Heaters

[voicey]

I wasn't sure where to post this but as they're electric here goes....

I have some tired looking storage heaters that could do with a nice coat of gloss white paint. Now I'm not stupid and realise that whatever I paint on has to cope with the temperature of the surface. I have thought about two possible options and would welcome thoughts and/or advice:

1. Spray them myself using high temp spray paint.

2. Send them to a shop to be painted/powder coated.

Can anyone offer any advice as to what the best course of action would be?

Cheers....

Best technically, or best price-wise?

PS - this is a Decorating / Painting / Wall Tiling question, not an electrical one....

Best technically I suppose. I wouldn't pay through the nose but don't mind paying around the £100 - £150 mark for two heaters if the finish is worth it.

Basically I'm due to to finish refurbishing my flat and was planning to get a new storage heaters but I've got the slimmist and latest models so I thought why not get them looking shiney.

A long lasting quality finish is what I'm after.

PS - thnaks for repsonding.

why not use emulsion. Its what everyone who decorates an office on the cheap and cant be bothered to do the job properly does!

Matt black would be the most efficient finish to have.

Oh yes...too many, thing is..the DIY ers and dodgy builders always seem too get away with it,

I knew where you were coming from though.

I know but I'm looking to improve the looks!
