radiator paint

[buster69]

Hi all

When is the best time to paint a radiator? When its on and hot or when its off and cold?

Cheers

when cold as the paint tends to run badly when its hot. use a decent radiator primer first, then a radiator enamel, i use the international brand and find it really good

If you want to paint your radiators the same colour as the wall, International also do "Clearcoat", which you can put on top of the emulsion. It comes in Gloss, Satin or Matt versions.

We've just used normal Dulux emulsion on a couple of ours at home, it's not showed any signs of flaking off even after a few years. Apply to a cold rad.
