The Manufacturers
Application Procedure radiator paints and enamels If you're going to make repairs in the winter when central heating is included, then the first thing you need to make sure – the temperature conditions applied. Many enamels and paints recommended to paint radiators only when the system is off. Without considering this, you risk getting a yellowish coating (if the stain alkyd white enamel) and not very flat and smooth (the paint will dry too quickly and unevenly, and no time to spread evenly). Surfaces must be clean, dry, without a trace of dust or grease. Unpainted radiators should be degreased, lightly treated with sandpaper and remove dust, covered with a layer of anticorrosive primer (primer CS-010) (usually the manufacturers operating instructions for recommended primer, which is best way combined with this paint). If the radiator has been painted previously, but the paint layer is in bad shape (cracked, flaking, etc.) then you should delete it and continue to do both with unpainted radiator.
If an old coat of paint and strong you are not satisfied only by its color or appearance, you should only treat the surface lightly with sandpaper to a state of haze and then wash it in any detergent removing grease and dust. Radiators are painted with a brush, paint the flat radiators comfortable cushion (less likely to use spray gun – it's less convenient) in 1-2 layers. On the wrist, by the way, need to be concerned in advance – depending on on what you have installed the radiator – may be the most convenient brush on a long handle, or, conversely, a small, thick or thin. For painting hard to reach places handy special radiator brush with a curved handle. If you apply two coats of alkyd enamel, after the complete drying of the first layer it is recommended to treat lightly with sandpaper.
