Glitter Paint

saw some lovely pink glitter paint in B & Q for daughters room, but it was £5 for a small pot, plus I wanted to put it on their glossed radiator and the pot said for walls only. Is there an alternative I can use to get the same effect or could I just paint glitter and PVA glue onto the radiator

Go to a craft shop and buy some glitter as it should be cheaper and you will get more for your money.
Then just paint some pva on the radiator and sprinkle some glitter on the wet pva.
Or try mixing some with some paint?I'm not poor i'm just skint0 -
id go with that too, a couple of years ago i brought a what turned out to be very expensive mettlic/glitter paint from b&q, it didnt coat very well at all even though i brought the seperate base coat so needed extra tins and the result...looked bloody disgusting so painted back over good old fashioned emulsion0

I would use radiator paint then a tin of glitter spray paint for the glitter effect0

Use glitter hair spray ( just dont leave the can on the radiator)Money's too tight to mention!!!0

i would be tempted to try radiator paint mixed with glitter (try a small amount first)
we used pink emulsion then varnish mixed with glitter on some shelves in my daughters room and it worked well, but i think varnish will crack on a radiator.Owner of a cute cottage in the North York Moors :j0
