When it comes to the best radiator paint, it’s hard to look past Hammerite’s truly outstanding satin radiator paint. This paint has been specifically formulated for use on radiators and is brought to you by a brand that’s synonymous with metal paints. In short – if you’re looking for metal paints, you should turn to Hammerite. This also helps reduce drafts in rooms where there are no windows or doors, which can lead to increased energy costs due to the constant usage of heating systems.

As radiators get older they become less efficient at outputting heat and you may find that over time your radiator has more and more ‘cold spots’.One common issue with painting radiators is that the paint is rather thin and cheaper brands especially tend to formulate paint that results in drips and runs. Fortunately, Hammerite’s radiator paint has excellent adhesion and thus tends to avoid this issue. Ensure there are no leaks at joints or connections where pipes meet each otherand cover any gaps with elastoplastic to prevent the spread of rust and water damage. So what makes this radiator paint so good? Whilst the end result is almost always fantastic, it’s the easy process which makes it possible that should get your attention. This paint can be applied directly to new, bare or previously painted radiators with minimal preparation and simply makes your life easier.

Begin applying primer by using a brush, roller or paint tray – this is especially important if you’re going to paint a radiator that is still in use. And lastly, if you want to match your radiator colour with your woodwork then don’t be afraid to use a trade satin paint like Johnstone’s.

Radiators are a popular focal point for home design. The colors that they come in can be customized to match your room’s décor while also keeping the heat inside of your home. Once you’ve wiped down your radiators with white spirit, give them a good wipe with some vinegar on your clothes to help kill any mould. This will also help them to look fresher and cleaner once you’ve painted them. Use painter’s tape around the area where you’re going to paint so that no paint goes outside of your desired area – we recommend using painters tape instead of newspaper because it won’t smudge and leaves less residue when you remove it. Then paint your pipes using a paint brush with 2-3 coats of your desired color – this will make it look clean and crisp.
