I've tried using both International water based Radiator Paint and
ICI's Dulux "Realife Tough Satin" in brilliant white. Both are
reassuringly white and delightfully smell free, but dry before the
brush marks have disappeaed.

for a large flat surface I'd agree with you (for the best finish, I've found
that laying on with a mini gloss roller followed by laying off with a good
quality 2" brush works well), but for a radiator I'm not sure there's much
advantage.

I'd go for a decent oil-based trade eggshell. They're delightful to paint
with.
