About this deal

Then, wearing gloves and protective goggles, use a good quality paint remover like Nitromors and paint onto the entire radiator. Leave it for about an hour until the paint has softened.

Now for the topcoat. Give your pipes 2 coats paint using a light up and down motion, you can use the same paint that you used for your radiator. This involves making your way across the top and bottom of the radiator – using long, sweeping strokes of the brush – and then focusing on the ridges of the mouldings individually. According to the study, if you were to take two radiators – of the same size and heat output – and painted one with standard white paint and the other with a metallic-based alternative, the one painted with the standard paint would give off more heat. 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. Easy to apply by brush, roller or electric sprayer, give your horizontal, vertical and column radiators an instant refresh with long-lasting coverage (14m2 per litre) that’s non yellowing and resistant to mould. If spraying, paint should be diluted with water by 10-20% as required. Two coats are recommendedDon’t let the name of Zinsser Perma-White Interior mislead you, as it’s available in over 4,000+ colours from RAL, NCS, and British Standard ranges – including Anthracite Grey! Any colour for any surface, this paint is also self-priming and can even be applied to ceramic tiling and Formica without sanding. It also offers protection against mould and mildew guaranteed for seven years, making it ideally suited for any area of persistent high humidity, frequent temperature changes and poor air circulation. Anthracite Grey Radiator Paint Ensure that the room is well ventilated and cover any furniture, carpets or anything else well to avoid damage. Take your chosen brush and apply the paint to the surface of the radiator – being careful NOT to overload the brush.

Glide the can in smooth motions up and down the radiator to prevent to paint from dripping and to get a nice even finish. Try to leave your radiator to dry for a few days without turning it on to allow the paint surface to harden. Making sure you neatly join each section into one-another will help you to create a nice and even finish.

The article even goes as far as saying that the effect of coating your appliance with metallic-based paint is the equivalent of removing 1/6 of the radiator.

Your fourth and final radiator paint option is to spray paint. There are couple of good spray paints that have been specially formulated for radiators, but colours are a little limited. The study covers the different effects various types of paint have on a radiator’s ability to emit radiant heat. Using both higher and lower grit sandpaper to get rid of any unwanted surface debris – and paying close attention to any rough spots you come across – begin to sand the surface of your radiator. First you will need to sand the radiator down with coarse sandpaper to remove as much paint as you can.

It may be a good idea to use a vacuum cleaner at this point to remove any fine bits of dust and use a damp cloth to wipe it down again, being sure to let the radiator dry completely before you start to apply paint.
