Thanks 👍

+jusb1066 Absolutely, some water based paints are brilliant ;-) Thanks for the comment

+Dionne Ortega You are welcome. Thanks for the comment

Dionne Ortega I

Thanks Steven ;-)

+Rui Nunes It's a nightmare when someone has made a mess of the job before you!Thanks for the comment ;-)

You are welcome Thanks for the comment 👍

+Paul F Thanks Paul, Zinsser make some excellent paints and primers.I have a tin of their AllCoat in white, which is a water based gloss. I'm hoping to try it on some external window frames next year, because it is water based yellowing should not be a problem with the Allcoat.Thanks for the comment

Yellowing gloss used to be a real problem, I think it was due to them being oil based. The hammerite radiator paint should be fine ;-) Thanks for the comments

The radiator in this video was painted using water based Zinsser Perma white and as far as I know there were no issues with the paint once it had dried. What brand of paint did you use?

Yes, that should work well 👍

@@ultimatehandyman thank you 😁

I think rust convertor and rust inhibitor are two different things. I used Loctite rust remedy (I think) fave.co/2yYd4NX Thanks for the comment

You can paint over Coverstain with water based paints. The only rust convertor I have ever used is Loctite Rust remedy, it seems to work really well. Thanks for the comment

Ok, thanks for the help, much appreciated :-)

never use a oil based white top coat unless its something like rustins oil non yellowing if you use your standard oil gloss satin etc the heat will make it yellow very fast. and don't use oil based white on interiors they all yellow in a timeline of 6 months to just over a year always use hybrid gloss and satin etc for whites if you something close to the application of oil for interiors stay white for years.

+hucks33 I'm always cursing painters when on site if they have painted the bolts on flanges etc. as it makes them really difficult to remove- so I know not to paint bolts/valves etc. Thanks for the comment ;-)

+joeshaft Yes, it is the same system. But if the radiators have not previously been painted with another paint (apart from that applied in the factory) you can just use two coats of Perma-white (you can now get it tinted to any colour). Thanks for the comment

theyre painted with white gloss/satin and they were already in the house when i got it. Just theyve gone a bit yellow now so i wanted to freshen them up with something (was going to use actual high temp radiator paint, but think ill go the zinnser route now) Thanks!

+joeshaft I'm not sure how well specific radiator paints work on top of standard gloss paints, but the Zinsser 123, then perma white should sort it ;-) Thanks for the comments

It works fine, but you might be better off using a specific radiator paint. Thanks for the comment

You can paint it, but it is not a simple job and you cannot use the method in this video. If you just search for "how to paint chrome", you will see how to do it- but to be honest you are better off replacing the radiator for a powder coated one. Thanks for the comment

I don't see why not! Perma white is great paint 👍

@@ultimatehandyman Thanks very much for your prompt reply, i will use it to paint the radiator. Also, i have painted my kitchen ceiling by using Perma white interior 2 years ago following one of your vedio method. Your vedio explaination is clear, knowledgable, i can get what i want to learn from it. Thanks so much for your professional vedio and job done.

I forgot to add that I'd probably have more future usage of the 123. Thankd6

You might be able to just use two coats of the 123 after applying the rust convertor. It's not something I have ever tried before, as I normally use Coverstain- but it might work and would save the expense of buying the Coverstain. Thanks for the comment

+kew4612 Yes, it's brilliant stuff. I used mostly zinsser products a few weeks back- Bullseye 123, B.I.N, Cover stain, Perma- white, Gardz. The cover stain is my favorite though- brilliant stuff! Thanks for the comment ;-)

+Daron Philpott Thanks Daron, I can't say as I have seen a two inch roller before but I'll look out for one! I always thought that 4 inch was the smallest. Thanks for the recommendation ;-)

Yes, the radiator in this video, had originally been painted with gloss Thanks for the comment 👍

If it's not rusty, you should just be able to clean it using methylated spirits (denatured alcohol), then apply two coats of Perma white 👍

@@ultimatehandyman Brilliant. Thanks so much for getting back to me, much appreciated.

I don't do much paint stripping but I'm sure one of the popular paint removal kits will work. Thanks for the comment

use a product called strip away it can strip up to 30 layers in one coat also try a wire brush if its flaked enough then degrease with methylated spirits then if you don't know if your rad is non ferrous or not play it safe and use a oil based metal primer give it a light sand and if you want a oil top coat in white use rustins undercoat satin or gloss non yellowing oil dont use a regular oil gloss satin in white it will yellow very fast. if not use hybrid paints or acrylic topcoats.

+Skysurfer Absolutely!Thanks for the comment

Not sure, I've always done it this way. If you do make sure it's not oil based, as it will soon yellow. Thanks for the comment 👍

+Zed Man I used some Zinsser AllCoat earlier in the year and that covered really well. I was so impressed with the black gloss that I bought some white gloss for painting the external window frames in my garage, but I have been so busy this year that I didn't get chance to do it before the colder weather arrived. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try it next year!I went to the painting and decorating show in Coventry this year and had a chat with one of the guys on the Zinsser stall. I said that the AllCoat covered well but was not as glossy as regular gloss paint. He explained that because it's water based you do not get the initial high gloss, like you do with oil based gloss- but it lasts much longer without yellowing.I never used to be keen on painting, but if you use good quality brushes/rollers/paints it makes the job much easier- I now find it quite enjoyable! Thanks for the comment

the easiest water based glosses satin undercoat I've used is johnstones trade aqua you can use the undercoat as wood primer also but if there bare remember knotting solution for water based paints if really resinous 3 undercoats 2 gloss if will give you same finish as oil if already painted then 2 undercoats and 2 glosses.

😂

It's a chemical that converts the rust, so that it can be painted over. There are a lot of makes, but I have used this in the past- fave.co/2vtbMg6 Thanks for the comment 👍

I normally use Loctite 7503 Thanks for the comment 👍

👍

You'll either need to sand off the drips, or scrape them off and give it a light sanding before priming. Thanks for the comment

Ultimate Handyman I did more research and sanded it don’t know why I didn’t think of it was just thinking due to the metal it wouldn’t be possible. Thank you for your reply. I’m new to this and doing my bathroom myself! Xx

You are welcome ;-)

+MrIknowbest2 It's not as good as cover stain, but still a stain blocker.

+MrIknowbest2 That's correct but the first radiator I painted (the large one) had previously been painted with a gloss that had yellowed, so the 123 was used to block the old, previously applied paint ;-) Thanks for the comment

+Toonses No idea, sorry as I have never used all purpose paint before. Who makes it?

+Ultimate Handyman It showed right in this video, Zinsser Perma-White High Performance All Purpose Interior Paint.

+Toonses Sorry, I thought you meant "all purpose paint" was the trade name of the paint. The Perma-white is good stuff. I painted 4 radiators with it (one was tinted magnolia), the kitchen and bathroom ceiling, the bathroom walls and the kitchen walls (after being primed with Zinsser 123, as they were vinyl), I have also painted tiles with it in the past (after priming them first with 123+) Thanks for the comment ;-)

Thanks for the comment 👍

+Daron Philpott Thanks, I'll check them out ;-)

+CrapGadgetReviews No, not at all. If I was sponsored by anyone I would say so! The Perma white is what I bought about 4 years ago when I was renovating one of my own properties, I bought it from ebay which is why you can often see brown packing tape around the top of the tins. I like products that work and do exactly what they are supposed to do. Just recently I painted this two bedroom flat from top to bottom and almost exclusively used Zinsser products, apart from some Dulux Supermatt, Glidden magnolia emulsion, Leyland eggshell and some oil based gloss (can't remember the make). My mate who helped with this flat is like a walking advert for Zinsser, he absolutely loves the stuff and does much more decorating than me! Thanks for the comment ;-)

+MKRM27 Thanks, I'm not really motivated by money. As long as I have enough to keep the kids clothed and fed I'm happy ;-) Thanks for the comment ;-)

+Ultimate Handyman thanks for answering my question. You are the best!

+CrapGadgetReviews No problem at all ;-) Thanks for the comments
