Radiator paint is specially formulated to withstand high temperatures without discolouring, making it heat-resistant up to 130°C. It provides a tough, durable finish that not only refreshes the appearance of radiators but also protects them from wear and tear over time. You can match or contrast with your interior décor in various colours for a seamless or standout look. Before applying radiator paint, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any dust, grease, or rust. Sanding the surface lightly can help the paint adhere more effectively. Using a primer or undercoat may improve the final result for previously painted radiators, particularly if switching to a lighter or brighter colour.
Always ensure the radiator is completely cool before starting, as painting a hot radiator can cause uneven drying and a poor-quality finish. For optimal results, apply the paint in thin, even layers, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly before adding the next. Typically, at least 24 hours of drying time is recommended before the radiator is turned back on. This versatile paint is not limited to radiators – it’s also ideal for central heating pipes and other metal surfaces exposed to heat. It’s a practical choice for homeowners looking to refresh their heating systems without needing costly replacements. Whether touching up a single radiator or updating your home, radiator paint offers a convenient and cost-effective solution.
