Product Information

If you do intend to spray paint your radiator, it may be a good idea to remove it from the wall completely and do it outside or in the garage. Note: For your radiator to function precisely, go for aluminum radiators. Such radiators are considered more coefficient and good heat transfers than any other materials. Does Hammerite Radiator Paint Need a Primer? It’s an aluminum radiator paint specially formulated to solve the flaking problems of standard paints on radiators; they come with heat resistance of up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. The traditional style valves come with the handles shown in the images and with 1/2" radiator connection and 15mm connection for copper pipe.

If all this sounds a bit too Grand Designs for your liking, then you can always send it out to be sandblasted then re-paint it yourself.After that, if you had initially dismantled your radiator, return it to its exact position, and there you go, your job is complete. Role of a Car Radiator For instance, you might have failed to leave the first coat to dry as per the instructions provided. This step is very crucial before painting, so ensure you give it your best. The next step involves cleaning the radiator with mineral spirits to a point it’s free from oil and residue. So failure to adhere to this rule leads to the paint bubbling on the surface due to uneven adherence of the paint. Why Do Radiators Get Rusty?

When applied, your radiator’s surface is safe from bumps, scuffs, rust, and other corrosive elements. For instance, using the incorrect type of paint can lessen the convection radiation coefficients of your radiator. And as such, this interferes with the radiator’s cooling ability. As one of the most recycled metals in the world, copper has had a well-established reclamation infrastructure in place for generations. The metal from recycled radiators can be used directly for producing free-cutting brass. With brazed radiators, copper's recyclability will be even greater. Since they are made without lead/tin solder, the radiators will be significantly easier to remelt. In fact, the recycled copper will be pure enough to fabricate directly into new radiator tube strip. Owing to their silicon content, brazed aluminum radiators can only be recycled into less critical casting alloy. Brazed Copper-Brass vs. Brazed Aluminium Radiator Core They have lower weight because they are manufactured with far less material in their fins and tubes than previous models, and because the heavy lead-base solder traditionally used in copper-brass radiators is replaced with a very small amount of light brazing alloy. This is due to a reduction in the radiating power of the radiator’s surface when it has been painted with metallic paint.You can do it inside but be sure to protect the surrounding area well – covering furniture, protecting the wall, curtains and anywhere nearby – as spray paint is tough to direct and has a tendency to drift around.
