Hammerite 5092847 400ml Radiator Enamel Aerosol - Satin White

Product Information

It is a pure brilliant white that is non-yellowing unlike a lot of oil-based paints, but this does mean it's no good for touch-ups on old discoloured radiators. Application can be done simply with a 1 or 2 inch brush and with very decent covering capability (I believe it goes further than any other paint in this article) painting is a breeze. On top of that, the paint becomes touch dry in around 30 minutes so if you do end up needing two coats, you won’t need to wait too long before you apply the second.

There comes a time in every adult life where you can no longer avoid those most mundane of tasks: painting something as fiddly as a radiator. But radiators need love too. After all, once your walls and door frames are looking bright from a recently applied coat or two, the radiators will look all the more shoddy and dilapidated by comparison. Okay, so you’re not that daft and you’ve let your radiators cool. Then, you’ve gone at it with a duster, removing as much dirt and dust as possible, and given it a good wipe down with a damp cloth to ensure every last dab of dirt and grease smear is removed. And just to be absolutely certain, you’ve dried it well and given it a good rub down with some sandpaper.Heat resistant to 190°C, higher than most radiator paints, it is self-priming, so you can paint straight on top of previously painted radiators or bare metal radiators - though we recommend a primer for a better finish. It is touch dry in 2-4 hours, and two coats will be needed if covering a previously white radiator, however, you will need to wait for another 12 hours in between coats.
