"I would recommend using a metal paint for a radiator if you want the paint to actually last and not flake off, they can make you a metal paint with an eggshell finish in store if you ask."

"Bad idea I’ve recently been to a house were the radiators turned yellow because they were done in eggshell . There’s nothing wrong with a good undercoat and a decent radiator paint"
