just decorating the bedrooms and some of the paint is bubbling, i
disturbed a couple of these bubbles and the paint has broken off which
i peeled back, but now there is a ridge as you can see in the pics:

any ideas how to remedy this? on a wall i'd use fine filler but on a
rad i dont know what to do!

How about a two part epoxy filler like car body filler or wood filler?

a car body type filler would make sense as its on metal and will get
hot, do they sell this sort of stuff in a diy shop ?

I would be inclined to expect that all the existing first coat will lift -
so it should all be removed.

A good case for removing the radiator and getting serious with scrapers and
wire brushes. Get it back to the base metal or primer - then start again.

John I did hope this would happen originally when I saw the bubbles,
but after prodding one and peeling a small area off, it wont peel back
any further. Its the same problem I had on the walls, some paint
peeled, then would only peel back a little bit. Then maybe a few days
later it would peel a little more, but nowhere near enough to easily
remove the lot and start again.
