@laurencoll7015 Sorry to hear the previous owner painted the radiator with the wrong paint. Because there's no real easy way to remove the chipping paint. It's going to be a long, tedious job. Using a scraper and wire brush. And be careful if the paint is old. It might be lead paint. The only proper way to do it where it will look new again is to remove the radiator to have it sand blasted.Which I know that's not what you want to hear. The easy way out is to make a custom radiator cover. And that's only to hide it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful on this one.Thanks for watching.
@@HandymanLand I appreciate your reply and help thanks so much yeah after some more research I realized the radiator cover is probably my best bet . I just have a weird situation where I can’t go out and buy one . I think it will be fairly easy to make tho . I have shelving that I didn’t want to remove . I guess I’m trying to to do the fastest easiest and cheapest fix without having to remove or demolish anything . So I have shelves that are built into the wall on either side of the radiator with one long board covering the top shelves and radiator so I think I’m just going to make a so called radiator frame to just stick into the opening because the top and sides are already covered by the weird build in shelves . My house is so old and needs so much work but I don’t have the time or money to fix it up the right way or how I would ultimately like to but I think a radiator cover or “frame “ will look way better then the chipped up exposed radiator! Thanks so much for taking the time to reply back and help me out it really means a lot !
@@laurencoll7015 Yes making one from old scrap wood is the best option. Here's an old video of one I made from old bed wood. Probably will give you an idea how to frame it. I didn't show how to make it, but the metal mesh is galvanized steel for stucco netting. Photo is at the end of the video. ruclips.net/video/GDEcIFjLHsc/видео.html

@@HandymanLand I just bought a 100 yr old house by Detroit River - with all horribly painted over radiators - not only that but probably had about 30 + years of dirt and debris stuck - to point it made allergy issues when turned on !! I tried so many hacks I came up to try to clean !! They are about 80 percent better - but no where near ready to paint because of crevices on bottom - so I’m going to get baby bottle brush and finish the dirt removal - then strip - paint is falling off any way ! Also thanks for spray paint hack!! Perfect - affordable - and I can do it myself - I’ll keep watching !
Awesome, just make sure you use a good paint respirator. Prices on the respirator have come back down to normal price. A good one will run you about $20 to $40 bucks. Thanks again🙂👍
how long did it take for the spray paint smell to go away? how is the condition of the paint now? also, does it gives out any spray paint smell when used? update video please
When I sprayed the radiator. I left came back the next day and no smell. If I were to guess 10 or 12 hours. I no longer live there. But still own the property, still looks like the day I spray painted it. And it has never given out any smell. It's all about using the right product. Hope I've answered your question. The product I used is in the description. Thank you for watching...
@@HandymanLandThank you for replying back. By any chance do you remember how big was the radiator you painted? It turned out really nice. Did you only do one coat? Did you have a lot of paint left over? I have seven that I'm planning to paint and their about 3ft tall 4ft long. Just trying to get an rough estimate of how many cans I should order. One last question, mines are in the same condition your was in before you painted it. if you were to do it again would you sand it down first?
If it's really bad, I would sand it down as much as possible. But in my case I just cleaned it up the best I could. And spray the specialty high heat rust-oleum spray paint. This paint supposedly stops it from continuing to rust. And I believe it, this video was uploaded a year ago. But that job I did about three years ago. I still own that property and to this day the radiator looks great. Thank you for your comment.
Yes, you can see just a little bit due to the fact that I did not remove it to get the backside. To remove it, I would have had to drain the entire house, and I was trying to avoid that. The video you just saw is actually a little over 5 years old. I found it and posted it up some time ago. I still own that property, and the radiator still looks great! But also, I did build a cover for this radiator. Thanks for your comment.

@simonsay9794 The one I painted was about 20x26 inches. I probably did about 2 to 3 coats. And
still had half a can left.
Thank uuuu

Aren't you supposed to sand the rust down first?
If it's really bad, I would sand it down as much as possible. But in my case I just cleaned it up the best I could. And spray the specialty high heat rust-oleum spray paint. This paint supposedly stops it from continuing to rust. And I believe it, this video was uploaded a year ago. But that job I did about three years ago.

I was thinking about that because I have to sand mine. Thanks for the video! This was super helpful!
RADiator. You must be from NJ...that's how I say it and I was born in NJ.
😆 🤣 😂 👍
Dryer lint brush
It doesn't look like you painted between the fins. Why not? Can't you see the old color, or rust, in there? I seems like I can
Yes, you can see just a little bit due to the fact that I did not remove it to get the backside. To remove it, I would have had to drain the entire house, and I was trying to avoid that.
