Why Paint Your Radiator?

Painting a radiator is not just a way to refresh old or peeling paint, but it can also enhance the aesthetics of your space. With a fresh coat of paint, you can breathe new life into an old radiator and ensure it complements your interior. By choosing the right paint, you can even make your radiator more heat-efficient and reduce energy consumption.

Choosing the Right Paint for Radiators

When painting a radiator, we recommend using a solvent-based paint. This type of paint is heat-resistant, which is essential for surfaces like radiators that get hot. It’s durable, able to withstand the high temperatures radiators can reach, and also scratch and wear-resistant, ensuring your radiator maintains a like-new appearance for longer. Additionally, we suggest choosing a paint suitable for indoor use, like a specialised wall paint, to give your radiator a modern look that complements any room.

The Radiator Painting Process

Before you start painting a radiator, it’s important to clean it thoroughly and remove any rust or loose paint. Once cleaned, you can begin painting. Use a small brush or roller for the best results. You may need to apply several coats to ensure even coverage. Allow the paint to dry completely between each coat.

Spraying Your Radiator for a Smooth Finish

As an alternative to painting, you might consider spraying your radiator. Spraying can create a smooth, professional finish without visible brushstrokes. Just as with painting, ensure that the paint you choose is heat-resistant. Paint that cannot withstand high temperatures may warp or peel over time.
