Old cast iron radiators are much better than any modern radiator – they have a higher heat transfer coefficient. Even if the radiator is switched off, the heat that will be returned to the room will remain for a long time, so think carefully before getting rid of this value.

Radiator refurbishment requires:

Brush
Paintbrush
Respirators
Primer
Paint
White spirit
Cloth
The newspaper

Before starting to paint the radiators, it must be properly prepared for this process. It must first be thoroughly cleaned of dust and dirt. For this purpose, it is recommended to use a brush that can also scrape off stained stains and rust, if any. Then wet the cloth with white spirit and clean the radiator on all sides. This product will help remove stuck dirt and grease.

When this is done, spread a newspaper under the radiator so that the floor covering is not damaged during painting.

This is followed by priming the radiator with a primer. In this process, use a respirator to prevent damage to the paint fumes. If possible, open a window to keep the room well ventilated. The inside of the radiator and the invisible parts that are difficult to access must be primed first, and only then can the front be primed. After priming, allow the radiator to dry completely for at least 24 hours.

The next day you can paint the radiator in the desired color. In this process, too, you should first paint the interior and hard-to-reach places and only then the rest. After painting, allow the radiator to dry for at least 24 hours. If necessary, repainting can be repeated.
