We painted ours (just one thin coat) not long after fitting. They need redoing now (6mths down then line) but I checked with our fitter and he said there was no problem in painting them...0

Painted ours in same colour as wall - assuming they are chrome, it'll be fine.
If they are white, you can buy radiator white paint, but I'd bet it'd be a different shade!
There are clip on sleeves available, in chrome, too, but probably not worth doing, if it's only short lengths.

We've always painted ours the same colour as the walls so they blend in a bit better. Never had any problemsMary
I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !

I generally tend to leave them, because if you do more work on the pipe later it looks a mess. If the pipe is within reach of running water or worse, then it is best to paint, but emulsion is not always up to the requirements. If you do paint, make sure the pipe is cold first.After the uprising of the 17th June The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?0 -

It won't go green. Just a matt light brown.0
