Ask your QuestionI have painted my kitchen using Dulux kitchen emulsion and need to paint the radiator the same colour. Do I need to buy a special paint as we rarely have the radiator on a high setting?

Answered on 13th Oct 2020 - Member since Sep 2020 - report"Use paint formulated for metal surfaces,if your radiator is non-functioning. A working radiator should be covered with paint that can withstand high temperatures, such as Premium Décor® high-heat aerosol enamel or non-aerosol oil-based, high-heat enamel."

"Yes, some lower cost paints could chip and peel over time, but most good quality emulsion paints can be used to paint your radiators. You just need to be sure you cover it over with a clear radiator overcoat after you've applied the emulsion."
