I googled a bit for this subject, but can't find specifics regarding
radiators,

Is it recommended or not, to use spray on Hammerite (gloss white) on a
bathroom rad?


I hope I haven't offended anyone with this simple request for
information.


No answer often means no one knows....

How about emailing the paint manufacture tech' support dept. ?


I've used spray hammerite on hot surfaces to good effect. Degrease and
sand surface with emery to get a good key. I would recommend hammerite
primer first. Then spray several thin coats of the finish. Hammerite likes
being baked on, but it *will* stink for some time (days/weeks) after you
run the rad up. The smell eventually subsides completely.

But wouldn't the OP be better with proper radiator enamel?
