Painting a powder coated radiator

[Paul_B]

Hi I recently purchased a 2nd hand powder coated radiator, I want to freshen it up and change the colour but am unsure if I can paint on the old powder coat!! is it possible and what paint would I need.

Many thanks in advance

Paul

You will probably need a primer first to give purchase to radiator paint.
Try a decorators merchant like brewers, or ask in the decorating section on the forum.
Paint as thin as possible to reduce emission loss.
The darker the colour, the more heat you will get from the rad.
