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 👍👍👊
Recently, I’m searching for tips to paint the middle inner part of the radiator. I found your good idea to use spray paint. Does the paint spray only from the top reach to the bottom part of the inner middle part?
Thank you for watching appreciate that alot 👌👌👊 it's the summer so why need heating on lol 😆 I'd let the paint dry for a day or two then your good to go, bet it looks really nice 👌 👌 I like matt black 👍👊 I give the radiator I did a couple of days before I put heating on 🫡
Grizza it definitely won't bubble over time trust me you get it on and it stays on, great paint man 👊 it's heat resistant plus that's why it works on so many areas go for it mate 👊
Sophie melia: Thank you very much and thanks for watching, yeah the Frenchic al fresco range is amazing you can use it on any surface and gives you fantastic results I really like the smudge grey to 👌👌👍.
Yeah 💯 mate I have done a video on just the thing feel free to check it out mate 👍👊 also thank you for taking the time to watch this one cheers mate nice one 👍 👌🫡👊

@@fionaa6764 Thank you very much fiona I really do appreciate that 👌👌👍👍🫡 also thanks for taking the time to watch the vids that's awesome 👊🫡 hope your painting goes OK I'd say just go for it and it will be just fine 🙂 👍👍👊
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?
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 👍 👍👌👊
Thanks that was a helpful tip for getting the inside parts with the spray paint first. Please show the whole wall with the finished radiator (just take a step back when recording to give a bigger view) thank you
Thank you for the kind words 👍👌 Yeah it was in the hallway so couldn't step back to get that shot your talking about had to get views from the side but thanks for that anyway Hope yours turns out great 👍 👊
Hi Gemma and thanks for watching the vid nice one 👌 I didn't prime the radiator for the spray it was an all in one application plus I used the Frenchic paint which is self priming I only used the spray to get to the places a brush carnt when your looking from above thanks for your feedback appreciate it alot 👍👍👊
Thanks for stopping by the vid Martine nice one pal 👊 As long as the paint is fully dry mate you should be good to go the Frenchic paint is really good mate mine still looks as new all this time later 👌👌 Hope your radiator turned out great just like mine and thanks for your comment nice one 👍👍.
@@MARTINA1937 yeah that's exactly the words the wife said to me when I did mine I'm well pleased with it I've done a door vid using Frenchic paint to feel free to check that out for some good tips, I'm pleased it turned out nice for you definitely worth doing must admit thanks for your reply nice one 👌👍👍👊.
Amy stobbs: Thanks for watching Yeah I would highly recommend you use some sugar soap and wipe it down plus a light rub down with sandpaper, theres no need to use a primer as the paint is self priming and self sealing 👌 hope this was a help 👍👍.
Yeah I give the radiator a nice rub over with some fine sandpaper got to do the preparation it gives the paint a nice key 💯 thanks for watching the vid instoke 👍👍🤜🔥🤛
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 amy 👍 thanks for stopping by the vid nice one I got the paint direct from Frenchic paint website sometimes they got some good deals on . And you can definitely paint skirting boards and pretty much anything aswell, good luck with your project hope it turns out ok ,thanks alot happy new year 👍👍.
Hi korelle thanks for watching 👍 yeah I painted my radiator plus my upvc frontdoor and my internal door all in the same colour it was Frenchic alfresco weatherproof inside/outside chalk mineral paint in the colour smudge grey I've done a video on all three it's great paint to use plus comes in loads of different colours to thanks for stopping by the vid appreciate it alot 👍👍👈.
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 👍👍.
Thanks for stopping by the vid Emma 🤜👍🤛 I used the Frenchic alfresco paint to paint the valves but I have done a video on spraying a radiator and valves, thanks for the comment nice one 👍👍.

I think I read somewhere that you can reduce heat emission of radiators up to 20% by using wrong type of paint or even colour. Did you maybe experience this on yours?
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 👍 👍👊
