    Radiator Painting

    Quick answer

    Will the paint yellow over time?

    Not if it's the right paint. We only use heat-stable radiator-grade systems (Hammerite Radiator Enamel or equivalent) that hold their whiteness for 8–10 years.

    Painted radiators should disappear into the wall, not jar against it. We strip flaking radiator paint, key-sand, prime with a radiator-grade primer and finish with a heat-stable satinwood — colour-matched to the wall or in any contrasting shade you choose. Done correctly, the finish stays crisp and white-staying for 8–10 years.
