Radiators have become an integral part of our home, and we try to harmoniously incorporate them into our interior. This is quite easy to do if they are brand new, covered with a smooth layer of fresh paint.
But what should you do if they are old, with cracked and blistered coating and rust stains? This is when the question arises: “Is it possible to paint a radiator?” Of course, you can! How? – we will explain below.
What kind of paint should you use for radiators?
Special enamels that are resistant to high temperatures are used for painting radiators. For example, TRIORA acrylic enamel for radiators. The enamel does not yellow over time and has a stable level of gloss. It also has high adhesion to the surface and good coverage.
How to paint a radiator properly?
To achieve a good and high-quality painting result, it is necessary to follow certain rules, most of which concern surface preparation:
- Before painting the radiators, you need to remove the old coating using SP-6 “ZEBRA” old paint remover;
- If there is rust on the radiators, it must also be removed before applying the enamel. However, before applying the rust converter, be sure to degrease the surface with white spirit. After that, you can apply “Express” “ZEBRA” rust converter. Remove old, rusty coating that is peeling off with a spatula;
- Remove dust and dirt with a damp cloth;
- It is essential to apply a primer to the surface to maximize the adhesion of the paint to the surface.
Now you can apply paint with a brush with soft bristles. Start painting the radiator from its upper part, gradually moving downwards. The coating should be applied in two layers. The second layer should be applied after the previous one has dried.
As we can see, it is not necessary to replace the radiator in order to fit this element into your interior design. It is enough to choose the right paint and follow the correct painting process, and you will achieve the desired result.
