How to apply (quick guide)

  1. Turn heating off and allow the radiator to cool fully before painting.
  2. Clean thoroughly to remove grease and dust; lightly abrade glossy surfaces for better adhesion.
  3. Remove loose/flaking coatings and treat any rust as required.
  4. Stir well and apply thin, even coats. Allow to dry fully between coats.
  5. Allow the coating to cure before bringing the radiator back up to temperature.

Important notes

  • For radiators and surfaces reaching typical radiator temperatures (not for stoves, fireplaces or extreme heat).
  • Use in a well-ventilated area and follow label guidance.

Preparation

Surface Condition: The radiator or appliance surface must be completely cool before you begin.

Previously Painted Surfaces: Ensure the existing paint is sound and non-flaking. Abrade the surface (preferably mechanical abrasion) to create a “key” for the new paint.

Bare Metal/Rust: Apply Carboxide Metal Primer to any bare metal or rusted areas. If you are significantly changing the colour or the surface is pitted, use Carboxide All Purpose Primer/Undercoat.

Environmental Conditions: Best applied in warm (minimum 10°C) and dry conditions. Do not apply when the temperature is below 10°C.

Washing: Avoid washing the newly painted surface for at least 7 days.

Application

Mixing: Stir thoroughly with a drill stirrer or a wooden baton (at least 2” wide). Continue stirring occasionally during use.

Methods:
* Brush/Roller: Apply a nice even coat. Use a brush for cutting in and a solvent-resistant sleeve if using a roller.
* Spray: For airless or conventional spray, thin the paint by a maximum of 10% using Palatine White Spirit.

Coat Thickness: Avoid applying the paint too thickly, as this can cause through-drying problems and extend drying times.

Recovers: A second coat can be applied once the first is hard dry. If more than 5 days pass before the second coat is applied, lightly abrade the first coat first.

Post-Application: Keep the area dry for at least 24 hours after painting to ensure the film cures correctly.

Please note: The colours on the product listings are only given as a guide. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours. In addition, everyone sees these colours differently. Sample pots are available to order upon request. Always carry out a test patch (approximately 100x100mm) before full application to ensure compatibility with previous coatings and the substrate, and to ensure the colour achieved meets your requirements. Failure to do so will result in a product refund claim not being accepted.

Colours Available: 29 Standard, BS 381C, BS4800 and Ral Classic range.

Pack Sizes: 500 ml, 1 Litre, 2.5 Litre, 5 Litre.

Coverage / Drying Times

(Based on standard conditions of 20°C)

Surface Dry: 2 hours

Hard Dry: 8 hours

Overcoat: after 12 hours. Keep coated areas dry for a minimum of 24 hours following application. Please note, drying times will be extended at low temperatures. Do not apply when ambient temperature falls below 10ºC

Theoretical Coverage: 12 – 14m² per litre.

(Coverage rate can be affected by such variables as type and condition of substrate, type of application equipment and individual method of application.)

Thinning and Cleaning

Thinning: Use Palatine White Spirit (Max 10% for spray application).

Cleaning: Clean all equipment immediately after use with Palatine White Spirit.

If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix before use. Always ensure the radiator or appliance surface is completely cool before application.

Q: Can Radiator Paint be used on all types of radiators and heated surfaces?
A: Yes, it’s specially formulated for use on domestic radiators, heated towel rails, and hot water pipes. Always ensure the surface is cool before application.

Q: Does Radiator Paint withstand high temperatures without yellowing or peeling?
A: Absolutely. The paint is heat-resistant and formulated to maintain colour and finish, resisting yellowing, cracking, or peeling even with regular heating cycles.

Q: Is it necessary to use a primer before applying this paint?
A: You should apply a metal primer like Carboxide Metal Primer to any bare metal or previously rusted areas to ensure proper protection and adhesion.

Q: Can I use this paint on a radiator that is currently turned on?
A: You must always ensure the radiator or appliance surface is completely cool before you begin the application process.

Q: What should I do if my radiator is already painted?
A: If the existing paint is sound, you simply need to clean the surface and lightly abrade it with sandpaper to provide a “key” for the new coating to stick to.
