FAQs

How much paint do I need?

One 750ml tin covers approximately 14m2. Calculate the surface area of your radiator(s) to determine how many tins you'll need.

Can I use this paint on other surfaces?

Rust-Oleum Radiator Paint is specifically designed for radiators. Using it on other surfaces may not provide the desired results or durability.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint typically dries to touch within a few hours. Allow at least 4 hours between coats and 7 days for full cure.

Do I need to prime the radiator?

Priming is recommended for bare metal or heavily rusted radiators. Otherwise, the paint can be applied directly to the surface.

Can I spray this paint?

Yes, it can be applied with an electric sprayer. Dilute the paint with water by 10-20% as required for the best results.

Is this paint heat-resistant?

Yes, it is heat-resistant up to 60°C.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

It provides a durable matt finish.

Where is Rust-Oleum Radiator Paint made?

Rust-Oleum Radiator Paint is made in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and lightly sanded. Apply a primer if necessary. Ensure the paint is applied in thin, even coats, and allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Paint is running or sagging.

Apply thinner coats and avoid overloading the brush or roller. If spraying, ensure the correct nozzle size and pressure are used.

The finish has bubbles.

Avoid applying the paint in direct sunlight or high temperatures. Ensure the paint is applied evenly, and do not overwork the paint.

The colour doesn't match the tester sachet exactly

Ensure that the paint has been properly stirred, and that two coats have been applied. The base coat colour will affect the final colour result, so ensure that the current colour of the radiator will work with the selected top coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the radiator surface is clean, dry, and free from loose rust or flaking paint. Lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion. Priming is not always required unless the surface is bare metal or heavily rusted. If required, prime the radiator first.
  2. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply the first coat evenly using a brush, roller, or electric sprayer. Allow the first coat to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 4 hours. Apply a second coat for full coverage and a more durable finish. If spraying, dilute the paint with water by 10-20% as needed.
  3. Drying Time: Allow the paint to dry completely before turning the radiator on. Full cure time is typically 7 days.
  4. Compatibility: Rust-Oleum Radiator Paint is compatible with previously primed or painted radiators. Make sure the existing paint is sound and well-adhered.
  5. Care: Clean the painted surface with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish.
