FAQs
Do I need to prime the radiator before using this spray?
If the radiator is clean and in good condition, primer is usually not necessary. However, if there is bare metal or rust, apply a suitable metal primer first.
How long should I wait before turning the radiator back on?
Allow the paint to cure completely according to the dry-time instructions on the can, typically at least 24 hours, before turning the heat back on.
Can this be used on pipes as well as the radiator body?
Yes, the spray is suitable for radiator pipes provided they are clean and free from grease.
Is the finish matte or glossy?
This product provides a satin finish, which offers a balance between durability and a subtle, professional sheen.
How many cans do I need for a standard radiator?
One can is typically sufficient for a standard single-panel radiator, but large or double-panel radiators may require two cans for full coverage.
Troubleshooting
Paint is running or sagging
You are holding the can too close to the surface or spraying too heavily in one spot. Apply lighter, thinner coats.
Spray nozzle feels clogged
Hold the can upside down and spray for 2-3 seconds to clear the nozzle mechanism.
Surface feels rough after painting
The paint may have dried too quickly or was applied from too far away. Ensure consistent, steady movement while spraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare for use, shake the can vigorously for at least one minute before spraying. Ensure the room is well-ventilated by opening windows. For the best compatibility, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of rust or loose paint. If the radiator has existing rust, treat it with a primer before applying the PlastiKote finish.
After finishing your project, simply twist the top to lock the mechanism; there is no need to clean a brush or worry about a missing cap. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain the integrity of the propellant.
