How to Use

Clean each radiator to remove dust and grease. Lightly key any existing glossy paint with fine abrasive paper so the new coat keys in properly, then wipe away the dust. Treat any rust spots and prime bare metal before painting.

Stir thoroughly, then brush on in thin, even coats, working from the top of the radiator downward and following the panel lines.

Two thin coats generally give the best, most even matt finish and the strongest resistance to yellowing over time. Avoid applying one thick coat, as it takes longer to dry and can affect the finish.

Allow the recommended time between coats, and leave the full cure time to pass before switching the heating back on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does radiator paint go yellow over time?

Ordinary gloss and satin radiator paints can gradually pick up a yellow or cream tinge, particularly on radiators that run hot often. Ronseal Stay White Radiator Paint is formulated specifically to resist that yellowing, so a white matt finish stays looking white for longer than a standard radiator enamel.

How to paint behind a radiator without taking it off the wall?

A long-handled radiator brush or narrow foam roller lets you reach behind the panel without removing the radiator. Cover the floor below first, and work in thin, controlled strokes to avoid drips running down the wall.

How long does radiator paint take to dry?

This formula is normally touch dry within a couple of hours, depending on room temperature and ventilation. Leave the recoat time on the tin to pass before applying a second coat, and allow the full cure time before turning the heating back on.

Can you paint radiator pipes as well as the radiator itself?

Yes, this paint is suitable for metal pipework and towel rails as well as steel and cast iron radiators, so you can achieve a consistent matt white finish throughout a room.

How many coats does this radiator paint need?

Two thin, even coats usually give the best coverage and the most durable, even matt finish. Applying the paint too thickly in one go can extend drying time and affect the final appearance.

Does one 750ml tin cover more than one radiator?

Yes, a 750ml tin is sized to cover several average radiators, or a smaller number of larger ones, when applied in a normal even coat across two coats. Actual coverage depends on the size and surface texture of each radiator.
