Had a bit of a nightmare with this stuff the last few days. Basically I
rubbed down a rad, primed it. Then put one light coat of hammerite smooth
rad enamel. Lef it for the recommended 16 hours dry time.

Came to re-coat it and started applying paint, not to much not to little
and
it ran like a 3 year olds nose.

I'm no novice decorator but this is my first rad. From the sounds it
sounds
like I am using too much paint for it to run buuuut it doesn't spread
with
any less paint.

...No idea why I think may be rub it down and the rad spray stuff ? very
thin coat after thin coat. At this rate it would have been cheaper to
buy a
new rad and easier.

huff...


The radiator I can see from here looks pretty OK. Last painted several
years ago and has hardly changed since.

Paint? Oh yes. Emulsion. Same as walls. Small roller.
