Choosing the Right Paint for Your Radiator Our Water-Based Eggshell and Water-Based Gloss are both suitable for painting radiators, so the choice comes down to the finish you prefer. Water-Based Eggshell offers a subtle satin finish with 20% sheen, while Water-Based Gloss creates a more reflective surface with 80% sheen. Both are durable, wipeable and designed to withstand temperatures of up to 70°C. We often recommend painting radiators the same colour as the surrounding walls, allowing them to blend into the room rather than drawing attention to themselves. Alternatively, choose a contrasting colour to make a feature of your radiator. For the best results, ensure the radiator is switched off and completely cool before painting. Follow our practical painting advice and the relevant technical data sheet for preparation, priming and application instructions. Allow the paint to dry and cure as directed before turning the heating back on. Why Choose Our Paint for Radiators? Heat resistant: Suitable for radiators operating at temperatures up to 70°C.
