Looking for bright white, chip free radiators that stay pristine year after year? You’re in the right place. Our Radiator Paint collection brings together heat proof coatings that stop yellowing, resist everyday knocks and keep rooms smelling fresh, so you spend less time touching up and more time enjoying cosy, warm evenings in comfort.
Bringing you brands with 120 years of British formulation know how, we’ve done the testing so you don’t have to. Radiator Paint is made in the UK for UK homes and rigorously tested. Expect rapid cure, low odour, wipe clean durability and a mid gloss finish that looks factory applied.
Traditional wall paint cracks and yellows when radiators hit full temperature. Our White Radiator Paint range, also known as radiator coating, is engineered with acrylic polymer technology that flexes as metal expands, delivers outstanding colour retention and blocks rust bleed through. Because it’s water based and low VOC, you can paint with the windows shut and the kids at home.
Use it to refresh central heating panels, towel rails, convector guards or pipework without the solvent smell. The self levelling formula flows smoothly with a brush or small radiator roller, giving professional results even on decorative fins and corners. Need the room back in service fast? Touch dry in an hour, through dry in two; switch the radiator back on and full cure is complete in around three hours.
From landlord refurbishments to show home upgrades, these specialist enamels slash labour time, cut maintenance cycles and comply with Indoor Air Quality guidance. Pair them with our water based primers for galvanised steel or copper and finish with matching pipe covers for a seamless look.
What makes radiator paint different from standard wall paint?
Radiator enamels are formulated to withstand surface temperatures up to around 90 °C without softening, yellowing or flaking, whereas regular emulsions start to degrade at 40–50 °C.
Can I apply your water-based radiator paint over existing solvent-based finishes?
Yes—lightly abrade the old coating, clean with a degreaser, let it dry and apply two thin coats of our water-based enamel for reliable adhesion and odour-free application.
How heat-resistant is this paint? Will it yellow over time?
The acrylic polymer resists constant domestic radiator temperatures and contains non-yellowing pigments, keeping a bright white finish even in sunlit rooms.
What coverage should I expect?
One litre covers roughly 13 m² at the recommended film build, enough for five to six average-sized radiators.
When can I turn the radiator back on after painting?
Allow one hour surface dry, two hours through-dry, then run the radiator at full heat for about an hour to stove the coating and reach full hardness.
Which is the best radiator paint I can buy in the UK?
For metal at high temperature, our UK-made water-based SPO Radiator Paint offers low VOC, fast re-use and a durable mid-gloss finish—making it a top choice for both professionals and DIYers.
