How and How Long:
- Turn off the power on the radiator. Before you continue, allow radiator and hot water pipes to cool completely.
- Remove any loose rust with a wire brush, sandpaper or chemical rust remover. Lightly sand glossy surface and remove dust with a tack cloth. Make sure radiator is clean and dry before painting.
- Cover surrounding area with a drop cloth to protect from overspray. Open doors and/or windows to provide good ventilation.
- Mask off any areas you don't want to spray, like valves or fittings.
- Following the instructions on the can, spray Krylon High Heat and Radiator Paint in a sweeping motion beginning off the surface and continuing off other side. Apply multiple thin coats to help avoid runs and drips. Let dry.
- Let paint dry completely before running the radiator.
Approximate project time: 1.5 - 2 hours.
