Which is a good choice of gloss white paint for central heating
pipes nowadays? Some years ago, I used both Dulux and Crown.
The Crown all went yellow in a few months on warm pipes.

I got one powder coated as an experiment

12 months later, there are lots of small cracks - so don't try that

Snap on plastic sleeves.
When they go yellow, just replace them. ;-)

Did mine with Smoothrite last year and they still look terrific. Neither the
cheapest nor easiest option, though.

White car paint, as someone else suggested.
Not the most practical answer, but it does seem to work.

Does it have to big gloss?
The Dulux wood paint is very good on radiators and pipes (IIRC its
Satinwood).

I have found Screwfix white gloss radiator enamel excellent.

Possibly not. I tried proper radiator paint once. I suspect it was due
to the damp but it began to flake and bubble shortly afterwards on a
radiator in the bathroom. (worked OK in the living room though).

I've since used Dulux oil-based paints everywhere with no problems,

Cheers,

John

I have had no trouble with using acrylic paints although they are not
gloss even the ones that say 'gloss'.
The first coat of acrylic paint on bare copper goes mint green.

We used radiator paint once, but it flaked off in sheets within a few years.
