This 250ml tin suits a single radiator or a couple of smaller ones, and the soft satin finish sits nicely between a flat matt and a full gloss. It's brush-applied, dries quickly and is built to withstand the heat a radiator puts out day to day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine one coat coverage, no undercoat needed on most previously painted radiators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite satin finish, a soft sheen that's less stark than gloss and hides minor surface imperfections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrush application for full control around radiator panels, valves and pipework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast touch dry time so rooms are back in use sooner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat resistant formula developed specifically for radiators, pipes and towel rails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for steel and cast iron radiators as well as metal pipework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e250ml tin, ideal for a single radiator or smaller items\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean the radiator to remove dust, grease and any loose or flaking material. If the existing paint is glossy, key it lightly with fine abrasive paper so the new coat has something to grip, then wipe away the dust. Treat any rust spots and prime any bare metal before painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStir well before use. Apply with a good quality brush in thin, even strokes, working from the top of the radiator down and following the direction of the panel ribs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a genuine one coat product on most surfaces already painted in a similar colour. If you're covering a strong dark colour, changing colour dramatically, or painting bare or heavily patched metal, a light second coat will give the most even, durable finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow the paint to touch dry before deciding whether a second coat is needed, and leave the full cure time to pass before turning the heating back on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRonseal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSatin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox. coverage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 12-16m² per litre (approx. 3-4m² from this 250ml tin), coverage varies by surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTouch dry time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 1-2 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecoat time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 4-6 hours if a second coat is needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFull cure \/ heat resistance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003etypically heat resistant up to approx. 130°C once fully cured; allow full cure before switching the heating back on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrush\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel and cast iron radiators, pipes and towel rails\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes Ronseal One Coat Radiator Paint really only need one coat?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn radiators already painted in a similar or lighter shade, one even coat is normally enough for full opacity and a durable finish. If you're covering a much darker colour, painting bare metal, or want maximum durability, a light second coat is worth adding, and thin, even coats always look better than one thick one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do you paint a radiator with this product?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurn the heating off and let the radiator cool fully. Clean off dust and grease, lightly key any glossy old paint with fine abrasive paper, and treat any rust before you start. Stir the paint well, then brush it on in thin, even strokes following the line of the radiator panels, working from the top down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan you paint radiators with normal wall paint or emulsion instead?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdinary wall emulsion isn't designed to cope with the heat a radiator gives off and can discolour, soften or peel over time. A dedicated radiator enamel like this one is formulated to withstand that heat and give a much longer-lasting finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow long does radiator paint take to dry?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one coat formula is normally touch dry within a couple of hours, though this depends on room temperature and ventilation. If you're applying a second coat, leave a few hours between coats, and always allow the full cure time on the tin to pass before turning the heating back on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I paint behind the radiator as well?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and it's worth doing if the wall behind is visible or previously unpainted. A long-handled radiator brush or roller makes it easier to reach behind the panel without removing the radiator from the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs this radiator paint suitable for pipes and towel rails too?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it's suitable for metal pipework and towel rails as well as steel and cast iron radiators, giving a consistent satin finish across all the heating in a room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ronseal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55610417676674,"sku":"367915","price":9.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5024\/4482\/files\/398043_20250313115336_1024.jpg?v=1756492890","url":"https:\/\/essentialsfix.co.uk\/products\/ronseal-white-satin-one-coat-radiator-paint-250ml","provider":"Essentials Fix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
