I have always just used a gloss on them, never had a problem (apart from a bit of a smell for a few days). Nice to hear no radio!!!

Ye that's also ok although they sometimes can go green looking over time. The primer just helps this not to happen.

Hi. Can the metal paint be okay for the copper pipes heating?

@francesca3919 10 ай бұрын

Can you paint emulsion on top of this primer? Want to paint pipes same colour as my walls. Was also thing of spray painting them to save time. What spray primer would you recommend?

What did you paint over the primer with?

Once primed can I paint pipes with the same Matt paint I used on the walls? My pipes run under the rads across the wall and I’m debating whether to make them white or the colour of the walls.

Listless Donkey yes you can paint them with your wall paint.

@EggsForDessert 6 жыл бұрын

Painting and Decorating In your experience what colours should rads/pipes be? White gloss/satinwood or same as the walls.

@@EggsForDessert I know this is an older comment but what did you decide to do in the end?. I'm in exactly the same situation. I have pipes running just above the skirting boards along the walls and I'm undecided whether to paint them white or magnolia like my walls

krisja white is more striking as opposed to magnolia, and gives a better Contrast against the magnolia. Only my opinion though. Magnolia pipes look as if they’ve “yellowed “ with heat 👍👍

HI, for old pipes that are already painted would you just sand and then repaint or would i need to strip as much of the paint off before hand down to the copper? Problem is there are quite a few chips so just worried about an uneven finish. Great channel btw, learnt alot from your videos.

@PaintingandDecorating 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you, yes sand and repaint, but in the areas where it's chipped make sure you sand them even. Touch up any bare copper with primer.

I'm painting silk on my pipes as they already have old paint on them and I want to hide them unfortunately I need small flat brushes as hardly any room beneath and at side for paintbrush and nice video good advice on sanding I noticed tho you just dust off after sanding vs damp cloth to ensure as complete as possible removal of dust particles etc nice video all same

Thanks, a dust of is usually enough... sounds like you need a lining fitch or pencil brush.

They are better primed, I use a couple of coats of Zinsser bin no difference really it just dries quicker

@geoffsmith673 5 ай бұрын

Used BIN and it oxidised the copper.

Will wood primer work? I've only got a small pipe to paint and don't want to buy a whole tin if I can get away without it

@PaintingandDecorating 2 жыл бұрын

It's better than nothing.. oil wood primer can fell sticky till it's undercoated using oil prefably. but if your going over with water based you will have to leave it to dry for a free days...

Hi, I bought a paint that is suitable for wood and metal. Used it on my copper pipes and within 20 minutes, the pipes turned blue-ish/ green. Should I wipe down the paint to remove it or is that normal/ requires a second coat tomorrow? Many thanks for your response.

@PaintingandDecorating Жыл бұрын

Lots of paints say they can go on wood and metal.. but bare wood and metal require primers.. unless it says on your paint no primer required.. thanks

@@PaintingandDecorating Thank you for responding. Ah, hmm so is it bad that the pipes have turned a greenish blue colour coming through thr white paint? What should I do next? Remove the paint from the pipes (I have something that can do this) or should I paint over it with a second coat of the white paint? Kind regards
