Ronseal White Satin One Coat Radiator Paint - 750ml

Ronseal One Coat Radiator Paint in white satin covers multiple radiators from a single 750ml tin, giving genuine one-coat coverage without the need for a separate undercoat. The satin finish offers a subtle sheen that works well in most rooms, and it's brush-applied and formulated to cope with the heat radiators generate every day.

Key Features

• Genuine one coat coverage across several radiators from one tin

• Brush application for precise control around panels, valves and fittings
• Fast touch dry time, ideal for getting a room back in use quickly
• Heat resistant formula designed specifically for radiators, pipes and towel rails
• Suitable for steel and cast iron radiators as well as metal pipework
• 750ml tin, a practical size for two or three radiators or a whole room

How to Use

Clean 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.

Stir well before use. Apply with a good quality brush in thin, even strokes, working from the top of each radiator down and following the direction of the panel ribs.

This 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.

Allow 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to paint a radiator with a one coat paint?

Let the radiator cool fully and turn the heating off. Clean away dust and grease, key any glossy old paint lightly with fine abrasive paper, and treat any rust before you begin. Stir the paint well, then brush it on in thin, even strokes, working from the top of the radiator down.

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.

Can you paint radiators with emulsion?

Standard wall emulsion isn't designed to withstand the heat a radiator produces and can discolour or fail over time. A dedicated one coat radiator enamel like this one copes with that heat and gives a far more durable, long-lasting finish.

Does one 750ml tin really 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. Actual coverage depends on the size and surface texture of each radiator.

How long does this radiator paint take to dry?

It's normally touch dry within a couple of hours, depending on room temperature and ventilation. If a second coat is needed, leave a few hours in between, and always allow the full cure time to pass before turning the heating back on.

Is this radiator paint suitable for pipes and towel rails?

Yes, it's suitable for metal pipework and towel rails as well as steel and cast iron radiators, so you can achieve a consistent satin finish throughout a room.
