Using radiator gloss instead of ordinary gloss?

In need of advice please MSErs!

I am looking to buy some paint to do up our new flat, but haven't got a ton of cash to spend.

I've found somewhere that I can get paint and supplies very cheaply, but the choice of paint is pretty limited.

For the colour that I want to use for my glossing in the living room, they only have radiator gloss.

Would this be ok to use on skirting boards?

  • The radiator gloss I have used was very thin and runny I would not like to use it on wood. Some types of radiator paint need the radiator to be put on after to cure or dry properly.
  • & it's normally alot more expensive
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
  • Where I'm getting it from it isn't - 5.99 for 750ml. Wickes and the like is at least 11.99.

    So if I could use it, it would be very handy!
