4 x Enamel Black Matt Paint Spray Aerosol 200ml Radiator Metal Wood Etc. Tough

Product Information

Painting behind radiators can help with heating efficiency by reducing lost heat that is caused when hot air from vents near the floor rises up the walls of a room. As mentioned above, durability is a shining quality of this paint with its toughness so impressive that it can withstand use on many items such as stove fires and barbecues. Before you get started, gather some white spirit and some rags or old clothes. Apply the white spirit to the cloths, not directly onto the radiator. This helps to prevent any paint from soaking into the rag when you’re wiping down the radiator, making it much easier to remove all dust and cobwebs beforehand. This tough, durable paint combines modern acrylic formulation with easy application for metal FX, press-out robots, automotive detailing and many other projects. The matte finish goes on light but is visible in all types of light! Works great over cellulose paints and primers – just shake well before use.

Older, rusted radiators can be painted with a metal primer and latex paint. Metal primers cover rust and other types of corrosion while also providing a base coat for your main color. It is ideal for large radiators or radiators with significant rust damage Use an oil-based primer for any metal surfaces before painting, as these are more durable than water-based paints.
