Is there anything more fun than painting a radiator?

I think I am just trying to avoid doing so :P

    You're not supposed to paint them. I heard that ages ago from a heating tech. This post was edited by Element 99 at August 11, 2018 8:43 AM MDT

    This is true.. it reduces their efficiency and you have to be very careful about which paint you use.. but people paint then just the same.. I think the problem is.. what do you do when the original paint they had chips and mine were already painted... and that began to look icky... so painting over them makes sense...

    It does make sense as it would be next to impossible to strip the old paint off without harsh chemicals.

    Do that mean though that you have to pay some one else to paint them ?

      Just wait until it's time to sit their there and intently watch the paint dry, there's the real fun!

    Almost as much fun as putting a 'wet paint' sign up and see who touches it.

    OMG I hate hate hate any kind of painting!! 

    had to paint my mom's house when she first moved in after her divorce........then her apartment when she moved into that.

    NO NO NO ever again will I EVER lift a paint brush for anything, or anyone........EVER!!!!!!!  EV-UH!!!

    Ya HEAR???????

    SO ANY kind of paintings a pain in the butt to me.

    as for radiators, are you really supposed to paint them? and if you do, shouldn't they be painted silver so they throw off heat?

    or is it black? no, black retains heat; well, would that be a good thing?

    GEE A HELUVA LOT OF STUFF TO THINK ABOUT!!!!

    better research it online first!!!!!

    and have fun..

    (yeah, right!!!!)

    :-D

    :-D
