You need to use a radiator paint next time

Are you sure its not just the smell of the heating?? Mine sometimes smells a bit after its been off all year??

I think Crown and Dulux need a kick up the backside. Who designs their tins, an idiot? As for hairs coming out of brushes every few seconds (on good brushes too).

OK fair point, but myself, I would still reccommend using a paint thats specifically designed for the high temperatures involved with radiators.

We had bad experience with paint on radiators. Unless you're using specific radiator paint you need to leave the radiator off for quite a bit until the paint is properly dry- not just touch dry. Turing on the heating while leaving the individual radiator switched off (ie for the rest of the house) could help the drying process.

We ended up replacing a radiator because getting rid of the bubbled paintwork would have been too hard a job.

This a new one on me. I work for a DIY store and I've heard paint flakeing off and I would recomend using proper raditor paint.

Surprisingly normal emulsion works well on Radiators, and dosent smell.! proper radiator paint is awuful. and if you use the same colour if painting walls, it blends in better. Pleas dont post you cant do this, ive been doing it for years, it works well.

No probs for us using dual purpose Dulux paint on our rads. It's all over the house but never had 'smells' in any of the rooms.

However, don't get me started on cr&ppy Crown paint, I'm never touching that bubbly muck again...........
