Painting a radiator with emulsion paint

Ninnut85

Emulsion everytime.
All my downstairs radiators are painted the same colour as the walls.
The upstairs ones were painted with white gloss which started to go yellow in about 3 months. The downstairs ones still look great.
Radiator paint is a complete waste of time and money

Yep, white paint. Infact I used Dulux touch of pink (goes on pink ish and dries white) and money saving as I used silk on my ceiling and coving and radiators (and all wood work!)

Still looks white where as the dulux gloss is now skanky yellow and I dont smoke.

Pink radiators, cool, :cool::cool:

Not, (joke, not)

OK emulsion will probably work colourwise, but paint on rads has to take knocks, emulsion?

Don't think so.
