Hammerite Radiator Enamel Gloss is a heat resistant high gloss finish for water-filled radiators and hot water pipes. Using an angled radiator will help you reach the extra awkward areas especially if you have a column Radiator. Ifyou want to paint a radiator that will heat your home when temperatures cool, the primer and paint should be able to resist rust and also withstand the high temperatures that radiators generate. When you’ve cleared up the rust spots, sanded the radiator down and cleaned and vacuumed the surface, you now need to wipe the radiator over with a damp cloth to remove any tiny particles of dust.Our One Coat Radiator Paint protects against everyday scuffs and scrapes and is heat resistant and durable.
For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 500ml tin should provide full coverage for just over 4m 2 on non-porous surfaces.
This flux in temperate can easily weaken this type of paint, expanding and shrinking it to eventually crack and weaken the paint you’ve worked so hard to apply. Paint can block vents and make valves difficult to turn, so avoid painting them on an operational unit.
If you want a clear coat, some experts suggest using polyurethane and the best finish by far is achieved with spray paint, both in terms of durability and consistent appearance.You might then decide to paint your radiator instead, which in the long run is less of a financial strain.
