Ask your QuestionCan I use Dulux trade diamond eggshell on radiators?
Asked by Jo on 26th Nov 2020"You can but it should really be painted with a paint that can withstand high temperatures I.e radiator enamel but you can get it in eggshell to prevent peeling over time."

Many outlets sell paints specific for radiators, metal paint
Screwfix, tool station, B&Q etc"
"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."
