Radiator Transformation Using Frenchic Alfresco Paint

In this video I show you how to transform your radiator using Frenchic alfresco weatherproof chalk and mineral paint in smudge grey, plus using a grey spray paint to get to the areas that a paintbrush cant reach.
I put two coats of paint on rubbing down in between coats using 180 grit sandpaper. The results were superb and looked like a brand new radiator. I used a 38mm paint brush to paint the radiator.

What colour plastikote did you use . Amazing results

@creativecrambo Жыл бұрын

Hi marcus👍👊 yea thanks mate the plastiKOTE was a similar colour to the radiator paint the lid indicates the colour it was grey in matt mat your the first person to mention that mate and I think it's one of the most important things to use gets in the areas you carnt reach with a brush and when you're looking down the radiator you don't see any different colours thank you for stopping by the vid mate nice one 👍👍👌👌👊 if your doing yours hope it turns out great mate let me know if you want I like talking to someone who has done it aswell all the best mate 👍👍👊

@deenalislam9198 3 жыл бұрын

The spray paint you used, is it still holding up when you heat the radiator? Is it melting or anything?

@creativecrambo 3 жыл бұрын

DeenALslam : The radiator still looks fantastic and the spray paint I used has not melted plus the alfresco Frenchic paint is awesome man ,the heat off the radiator won't. Melt the spray paint anyway if anything the worst way it will just make it flake off but ive had no problems with what I have used and still looks awesome, thanks for your feedback and appreciate your comment 👍👍.

You've inspired me to tackle my tatty radiators. I like really bright colours though, the the Frenchic ones don't quite hit the spot for me. So I'd rather get my paint mixed by Dulux to i get the colour I want - what type of paint would you recommend instead of the Frenchic? Eggshell?

@creativecrambo Жыл бұрын

Hi Jane 👋 thanks very much for stopping by the vid nice one 👊 I think dulux do a quick drying gloss for radiators but not to sure what colours they come in you'll need a gloss type paint hopefully they can do the colour you want just tell them it's for a radiator, I'm pleased I've give you some sort of inspiration thanks for that yeah definitely go for it. It makes a big difference and gives it a new lease of life let me know how you get on and good luck 👍 👍👌👊

When you say a rub down after the first coat what do you mean?

Thanks for watching Kirstin 👍 yeah so what I mean by saying rub down in between coats is I give the radiator a light rub down with sandpaper this gives the second coat a nice key and will give you better final results, a really fine sandpaper is ideal as not to scratch the paint, thanks for stopping by the vid really appreciate it alot 👍👍👌.

Hi and thank you for stopping by the video 👍 I'm not to sure about all the ifs and butts and maybes Since I've painted the radiator I have not noticed any changes in its performance regarding heat loss maybe there is or maybe there isn't from my personal experience I haven't noticed any change what so ever , all I do know is that the paint I used is fantastic to use on radiator and loads of other substrates thank you for your feedback appreciate it and all the best 👍 👍👊
