Can I use this paint on other surfaces?

This paint is specifically designed for radiators. Using it on other surfaces is not recommended.

How much paint do I need?

A 750ml tin should cover a typical radiator. The exact amount will depend on the size and design of the radiator and the number of coats applied.

Do I need to prime before painting?

Priming is recommended for unpainted radiators or if the existing paint is in poor condition. It can also improve adhesion and durability.

What tools do I need to apply the paint?

You can use a brush, roller, or electric sprayer. Make sure you also have the necessary supplies for surface preparation, such as cleaning materials and sandpaper.

How do I clean the paint brushes and rollers?

Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use.

Can I apply this paint with a spray gun?

Yes, you can apply this paint with a spray gun. Dilute the paint with water by 10-20% as required.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the radiator surface is clean, dry, and free of rust or grease. Lightly sand the surface if necessary and apply a primer if needed.

Paint is running or dripping.

Apply thinner coats and avoid overloading the brush or roller. If spraying, ensure the correct dilution ratio (10-20% water).

Uneven finish.

Apply two coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Use a high-quality brush or roller for a smoother finish.

Color is not as expected.

Ensure you've chosen the correct color. If possible, test the color using a tester sachet before painting the entire radiator. Lighting can affect the appearance of the color, so test in different lighting conditions.
