FAQs
Can I use this on a surface hotter than 80°C?
No, this product is rated specifically for temperatures up to +80°C. Exceeding this limit may cause the paint to blister or peel.
Do I need to apply a primer first?
For best results, clean and sand the surface well. If the metal is bare or prone to heavy rust, a dedicated metal primer can improve adhesion.
How long should I wait before turning the heating back on?
Allow the paint to air-dry completely according to the curing time specified on the can, usually 24 hours, before re-introducing heat.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, it is formulated specifically for indoor heating components and may not have the weather resistance required for exterior exposure.
Can I use this on plastic pipes?
No, this product is specifically formulated for metal surfaces such as steel, copper, and aluminium.
What is the finish of this paint?
It provides a classic, clean white enamel finish suitable for most radiator and appliance aesthetics.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or sagging
You are holding the can too close to the surface or applying too much paint at once; use light, sweeping motions.
Finish looks dull or dusty
This is often caused by spraying from too far away; reduce the distance to the recommended 20-30cm range.
Nozzle is clogged
Soak the nozzle in a small amount of thinners or warm water to clear the dried paint, or replace it if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best finish, begin by removing any loose paint, rust, or grease from the surface using a wire brush or fine-grit sandpaper. Wipe the metal down with a suitable degreasing agent and ensure it is completely dry before spraying. Always shake the canister vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Maintain a distance of 20-30cm from the surface during application. For care, keep the nozzle clean by turning the can upside down and spraying for a few seconds after each session to prevent clogging. Always apply in a well-ventilated space and wear appropriate protective gear.
