Hi all,
I have a small radiator that had been painted with about 2 coats of gloss ontop of each other by the other person that lived in our flat and now its starting to flake off and i want to remove the paint and repaint again with gloss. Is there any best way to remove paint from radiators

Take it to a local sandblasting company.
Don't re-paint with gloss, use radiator enamel.
Once glossed you will be forever re-painting it as gloss goes yellow very quickly.0 -
Had a search around but cant seem to find anything aroudnd. What am i best to search for

It would probably cost less to buy a new radiator than to get the other one sandblasted. Unless you know someone with a large enough sandblasting cabinet, who would let you do it yourself. Plus, with a new radiator, it would come already coated with a nice hard coat of powder paint.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
Been quoted £10 to have the small radiator stripped0
