Everything your doing is correct in terms of painting ,i did 3 8ft long radiators like this the other week in an old Victorian house but to be honest it would of been cheaper for the owner to just replace them with new ones but the Decorator got the wages and the plumbers lost out for once .

Zinsser Bin brilliant stuff, I use it on most jobs as there is often water marks and where woodwork ends up bald in places after sanding , good job sir !

I’ve just painted a radiator exactly like this one. I followed your advice in your other videos, but I took the side and top panels off and painted them separately, I think it gave me a better result

Take the top and sides off those rads in two seconds. Would make the job that bit easier! Great result 👍🏼👍🏼

Just did my rads and used the radiator spray paint from brewers . Gave it a good key and dust off and got a lovely finish .

Top job. Top man as always. 👍🏻👍🏻

Have to commend you on your preparation efforts my friend. You're a great teacher.

Great video again mate keep them coming 👍

Great advice. Could I use Zinsser cover stain rather than Zinsser Bin.

I took off 3 radiators in my house and got them bead blasted then powder coated and they look very sharp.. Should last a longtime hopefully as it wasnt cheap..

A radiator that size would have been cheaper to replace surely ?

Brilliant thanks for this. Couldn't find how to do this anywhere else.

I would like a matt finish for me rad, is there any paint you recommend please? Great video x

Currently using a grinder with sanding disc and I’ll just spray it with gloss radiator paint after. Can anyone think of why this might not be a better idea

Are there any low cost radiator brands that use decent paint on them that won't go rusty for a long time?

I used Zinsser Perma-White to paint mine, worked a treat 👍

If I wanted to paint my radiator the same colour on the wall which is emulsion what do I need to do to the radiator first ?

Screwfix’s sales of BIN must have gone through the roof since you started these videos! Keep up the good work.

Pro!

Good Job. Don't see many of those where I live. I have a few questions.. 1.What did you wipe the radiator with after sanding. I think you said metholated spirits. Is that the same thing as MEK in the U.S? 2. After priming with BIN, your next coat you called an under coat. Is an under coat the same thing as a 1st coat of the paint? 3.In other videos of yours, I see you mix PVA out of a container and mix it with water to seal peeling paint, bare plaster, damaged walls, etc.. Is the PVA you use, the same thing as the PVA we use in the U.S which is already mixed to prime new drywall? If not, what is the difference and where might I buy a similar product like the one you use to dilute with water to accomplish results similar to yours? I have been painting for many years. One is never to old to learn. Your tips, tricks and end results are second to none when it comes to restoration and historic home renovations. Thanks for posting your videos.

Every time i use the bbin primer it bleeds through and leaves light patches

Great video i painted my radiator but it smells when i switch it on now even tho ive left it off for 2 days after painting is there anyway of getting rid of smell

I sanded back to metal and painted with 3-4 coats of Hammerite Radiator Paint... 3 months later they’re yellowing. What would you suggest as a fix that stays white? Can I just go over them and what with? 🙁 thank you 🙏🏻

Hi, great and detailed video! Do you have some cure for paint getting to this little creves? Cuz job is really perfect and just this paint inside this cerves

very good job

😊👍

It would have been much better to buy a new one. Still great to watch you work.. 👍

WOW! night & day difference... umm please could i ask a question... Could you use a wire brush to get paint off when prepping? once again another Fantastic lesson TFS Stay safe

After the prep, much easier and better finish to use Spray Radiator Paint. Screwfix do two white finishes.

Boss man! Which gloss did you use?

Cheaper to repaint, if you throw in the £100 the plumber charges. I always paint them hot ,dries quick, less runs.

Old skool!

Probably cheaper to replace it but it's the customers choice

Coverstain is a far better overall product than BIN, despite taking longer to dry. I've given up with BIN.

I removed the old color on my radiator then I applied new color on it (painted).but directly after it becomes rusted with spot of rusts. Why it happened ?any solution?

The bin gives off a buzz..it seems to stay in the nostrils a while esp in a confined space... Great product though.

Witch gloss did you use

what paint did you use on the radiator

The toll and side panels of those roads come of o you can get all the dust and fluff out that collects inside and you can paint an inch down at the top

Surprised ure using oil based gloss when it goes yellow as soon as the heat goes on water base is the way to go less v o cs

Why did you wear a mask for scrapping but not sanding?

Paint rads while hot so much easier

mine end up rusty on the bottom edge where the cats piss up them was thinking of soft padding them off and using q rust then spraying them?

I must be really lazy, because i'd have spent £30 on a new radiator :)

Why are you holding the brush like a dagger ?

Good finish, but the finish was let down by bridging the gaps with paint in places, especially on the top, it draws my eye every time.

I would have took the covers off painted rad then the covers.

I would hope that you get a tin or two from the manufacturers of Zinsser for all the free recommendations and advertising. If not just keep thi gob shut pal.

Foam roller would increase your speed and leaves a spray like finish on the rads.

Where can i get 1 of them masks from they look more comfy then the ones i have

Worst part is knowing why it’s rusty 💦 🤮

Buy a new one. There cheap enough. Why waste your time

Your way of work is not cost effective...spending so many hours to deal with a radiator painting...By the way !Next time use a PROFESSIONAL 2 inch brush at least ,will give you some speed ...the toy one does the job somehow ,but it takes an eternity to get there ...

Why are you advising people to clean or wipe down with meths spirits, if anything you should be recommending turps substitute. Meths spirits is not and has never in the history of man ever been used nor will it act as an etching. The only time u need to etch metal is if it is galvanised. Then you use Mordant t acid etch.
