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
Yes sometimes is best to remove them.. but this really is just a quick clean up job for the customer... who is selling the house. hope my videos helped you get a good finish on your radiators.
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..
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.
Thanks for your reply. I will do so more research on the paint term under coat. I am guessing that in regards to the radiator and your prep, that it is some kind of rust inhibitor. Keep up the good work.
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
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
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
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
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
Supreme rad painting in action. Firstly. Take the panels off. Or split that build up off. Most importantly never undercoat hot metal. It has no where near the amount of flexibility as gloss. And may lead to cracking. As it gets hot. 2 coats of gloss. Thirdly needs to be waterbased. No light no white. 2020 and your using instant yellow gloss...and I didn't know Meths acts as an etching primer. Learn something every day.
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 🙏🏻
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?
@@truttzi true but even recycling takes energy.. we should all try to fix and only make quality items that are affordable for everyone.. it's the small things that make the big difference in the end... feeling all green all of a sudden lol.. 😆
£30 ??????? You have to find and buy the same brand then, otherwise you have to fix the new brackets and the connection with the pipe will be slightly off as well. Then you have to pay the plumber who won't be cheap. Even if you buy the same brand you know it starts pealing of in a year time.
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.
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.
I've allways used meths for that type of cleaning turps substitute isn't anywhere near as good as it was, also using zinsser bin you can't clean brushes with turps meths is great for that
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 ...

Have to commend you on your preparation efforts my friend. You're a great teacher.
Nigel Chandra I agree with you💯

@@PaintingandDecorating they did, thanks!! I’ve used a lot of your videos for decorating recently and they’ve been a great help!
@@rebeccafindlay9068 Brilliant thanks.
You are quite right you would get a better result, also you wouldn't have picked up all the bits lodged in them.
Consensus worker
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. 👍🏻👍🏻
A radiator that size would have been cheaper to replace surely ?
Great video again mate keep them coming 👍
Cheers mate.
Brilliant thanks for this. Couldn't find how to do this anywhere else.
Your welcome thanks.
Screwfix’s sales of BIN must have gone through the roof since you started these videos! Keep up the good work.

Thanks.. meths is industrial alcohol.. undercoat is not a primer.. it is used before applying gloss.. PVA also known as school glue, wood glue.
Thanks for your reply. I will do so more research on the paint term under coat. I am guessing that in regards to the radiator and your prep, that it is some kind of rust inhibitor. Keep up the good work.
@@skyhawaii5446 B.I.N primer was used before the undercoat.. thanks
It would have been much better to buy a new one. Still great to watch you work.. 👍
I used Zinsser Perma-White to paint mine, worked a treat 👍
Still white?
@@PhillyTTT yes, I did them a couple of years ago and they still look good. I think I primed with BIN, then used Perma-White, no yellowing at all.
very good job
Thank you.
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
Cheaper to repaint, if you throw in the £100 the plumber charges.
I always paint them hot ,dries quick, less runs.
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
Pro!
Are there any low cost radiator brands that use decent paint on them that won't go rusty for a long time?
After the prep, much easier and better finish to use Spray Radiator Paint. Screwfix do two white finishes.
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
I would like a matt finish for me rad, is there any paint you recommend please? Great video x
Great advice. Could I use Zinsser cover stain rather than Zinsser Bin.
Probably cheaper to replace it but it's the customers choice
Boss man! Which gloss did you use?
Oil Dulux pure brilliant white gloss. Thanks
The bin gives off a buzz..it seems to stay in the nostrils a while esp in a confined space...
Great product though.
Methylated spirits is alcohol.
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
Yes you can use a wire brush... but be careful and wear eye protection.. thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating Thank you & will do
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
Coverstain is a far better overall product than BIN, despite taking longer to dry. I've given up with BIN.
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
Be yellow in 3 months 😂
Totally agree
The paint job warranty runs out before the yellowing.

Dulux oil thanks
Old skool!

I've never used hammerite on a rad... you can get special stay white radiator paint.. I use oil satinwood. Thanks
Water based paint stays white. Cheapest screwfix no nonsense gloss white was able to handle the copper pipes coming off my gas boiler.
😊👍
Every time i use the bbin primer it bleeds through and leaves light patches
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 ?
Wall first then rad use a suitable paint for the rad. Thanks
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?
Sounds like you have used a water based paint.. you need to use a metal primer first. Thanks
Thank you very much for your advice !!!!! Yes I used water based color. Now I know why it happened.
what paint did you use on the radiator
Ronseal radiator paint.. thanks
I would have took the covers off painted rad then the covers.
I would have took the covers and the radiator off and threw them in a skip
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.
Yes noticed this and have made it look good. Scraped them back and touched up like you say its the small things that make a difference. Thanks
Why did you wear a mask for scrapping but not sanding?
I must of put it on off cam hate sanding with no mask on...
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?
Sounds like a nice house😱😱😱😱
Poor cat's meow lol
Surely the whole house reeking of pee is the bigger problem?
🤣 that's what I like to hear say it like it is ha..ha..
@@georgecclifford8235 I am as common as pig shit lol! :-)
Foam roller would increase your speed and leaves a spray like finish on the rads.
Brush used correctly you can get a glass like finish you won't know they had been hand painted.
@@PaintingandDecorating yep. Roller dulls the finish!
I love watching your videos its completely changed the way i tackle my decorating..... thank you so much
A roller isn't as good as a brush on radiators
Why are you holding the brush like a dagger ?
The job gets frustrating at times?
I must be really lazy, because i'd have spent £30 on a new radiator :)
Throw away thats the trouble no-one can be bothered putting in the effort.. the planet is doomed Mr. Manering 😅
@@PaintingandDecorating haha! At least metal is recyclable 👍

Paint rads while hot so much easier
Worst part is knowing why it’s rusty 💦 🤮
....why?
Wonder if that’s why they describe old paint as ‘yellowing’?
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.
Buy a new one. There cheap enough. Why waste your time
You can get a new radiator for £30, Labour and materials probably cost more🤦♂️
Where can i get 1 of them masks from they look more comfy then the ones i have
Lots of places sell dust masks p3 these ones from B&Q

Why not a professional 4 inch? The job would be finished before he starts.
