There are many reasons why you may want to paint your radiator. However, each of these reasons may be better suited to other alternatives. The economic climate that we find ourselves in right now means that we’re all looking for ways to cut down costs and spending. So if your radiator is old, you may want to paint it, as oppose to buying a new one.
Over time, your radiator can also become worn, dirty and, let’s face it, unattractive. Many people may want to “spruce up” their old radiator by giving it a makeover, so painting your radiator is an option for those who want to turn their radiator from a boring standard appliance to a statement piece of furniture.

Wow. Just found this channel. The legend himself. Love your work craig. I'll have to subscribe and see if I can learn a thing or two, i'm currently decorating too so this is quite convenient. Top man

Thank you for subscribing mate! Glad you like our channel!

Hi Craig. What a fantastic video. Subscribed! I'll be painting my first radiator with enamel paint over the summer. Please tell me the correct type of brush to use (bristle type), so to get a smooth finish. What brush did you use? Cheers.

[@davidscott8761]

It appears to be the following paint brush you used (?), but which size is it? Natural Bristle Round Paint Brush 1 pc - fi40 mm (or 50/55 mm) Is your paint brush only for chalk paint, or can it be used with enamel paint (which I've bought)? Thanks.

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Hi David, thanks glad you liked the video and subscribed, we have lots of other painting videos be sure to check them out as prep is very important when painting. As for brushers, go to French's website they have just a small range of brushers all of which would work very well when painting radiators or similar items

[@samatronn]

can I use paint stripper on a radiator? Ours is so caked in paint

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Yes you can! Frenchic make one! Check out their website for more details!

[@doreenrussell2978]

You used a satin finish for the radiator. How do you feel about a gloss finish?

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Yes if it's the look you want, you could use Trim Paint and get it shinier! Or even put some tuff top coat or finishing coat on the top afterwards for that extra protection and sheen finish

[@WENDY-vf6wp]

What was the stuff he put on the rust?

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Put in th rust ??

[@simonmoffat3017]

Metal primer. Zinsser Bulls Eye in this case.

[@1NeverunderStood]

Can I do it in emulsion paint ???

[@MrandMrsDIY]

You can use Frenchic's chalk and mineral paint yes

[@1NeverunderStood]

@@MrandMrsDIY I have done the walls celling and wood work and door all in emulsion so wanted the same. Colour. ??

[@mauricebate5069]

Why can't you spray paint it when warm ???

[@MrandMrsDIY]

Because the paint won't key to it and won't dry properly, cheers
