Have your radiators yellowed over time or has the paint skipped? This tutorial will show you how to renew and update your appearance in just a few minutes. Do not miss this step by step to paint a radiator without having to disassemble them.
With daily use and the passage of time, radiators usually lose their original color and brightness. Changing them all is a fairly expensive solution. For this reason, we propose to paint them to renew their appearance or, simply, bring a color note to your radiators.
Materials:
To paint a radiator we will need:
- White radiator spray paint Pintyplus: This type of paint resists up to a temperature of 90 ºC, which is much higher than what is usually achieved by domestic radiators.
- Pintyplus EVOLUTION acrylic spray paint: You can choose from its wide range of RAL colors.
How to paint a radiator step by step:
Painting a radiator is much simpler and faster than you can imagine if you do it with spray paint. To renew your old radiator and make it look like new, just follow the steps below.

1º.- Clean the radiator and protect the area:
First, it will be necessary to clean the radiator with cleaning alcohol to remove dust and dirt. In this way, the adhesion of the paint will be facilitated. In case the original radiator paint is in poor condition, we will remove it with Greenox paint stripper spray.
It is convenient to cover the surrounding area with cardboard or protective paper so as not to stain the wall or floor. In this way, it is not even necessary to disassemble the radiator.
2º.- Apply paint for radiators:
Next, Pintyplus Tech radiator paint will be applied. This type of paint is specially formulated for touch-up and preservation of cast and aluminum radiators that we usually have at home. To paint with it, the following steps must be followed:
-
-
- Shake the can for 1 minute after the sound of the mixing balls.
- Spray at a distance of 25/30 cm.
- Apply thin layers, first horizontally and then vertically.
-
In just 15 minutes the paint will have dried and you can go to the next step.
3º. Color the radiator:
The third and final step will be to apply color if we do not want our radiator to be white. Otherwise, it will be sufficient to paint the radiator with the spray paint for radiators.
