Yes you can paint a radiator.You can buy radiator paint or use standard white gloss.Paint when radiator is cold and spread paint well,ideally apply one coat let it dry then apply finishing coat,this limits paint runs.

Christopher · Answer

Yes you can paint your radiator, but you cannot just use emulsion for walls.
You will need a ceramic paint specifically for use on radiators etc due to the heat.
Some hardwearing satin paints can be used on radiators also but you must check the brand and type of paint as not all are suitable.
When you paint your radiator it will need to be cold, and you will want to leave it cold until the paint has fully cured (check manufacturers instructions on tin).
Hope this helps

The answer is YES ! There are several brands that do radiator paint in different finishes and applications methods. 
 If you feel confident enough to undertake the work then do it yourself. 
 Also,don't forget to read the instructions as it contains important information about the application process and drying times

Lucy · Answer

Yes you can absolutely paint a radiator! There are specialist radiator paint but a good emulsion paint will work too! I often paint a radiator in the same paint that I paint the walls. Just make sure the radiator is cold and isn’t turned back on for 48 hours after applying paint to give it time to cure.

Give it a go!
