An old, rusty radiator with nasty cracks – does this picture look familiar? If you have such a thing in your home, don’t write it off just yet! Installing a new radiator is a costly and daunting task, but as long as the old one performs nicely and doesn't have cold spots or bottom there’s no need to do it! Buy a tin of paint instead and give the radiator a new life within a few hours and at surprisingly low cost.

This video will guide you through how to paint a radiator effortlessly, as long as you follow a few basic rules you should have no problems.

You can choose any colour you like so the radiator either blends into the background or becomes a feature of the room depending on your taste. Never consider using normal everyday paints as they aren't heat resistant, so check the store for specially designed products which won't be affected by high temperatures.

* It sounds like a common sense, but make sure the radiator is cold before you apply the paint and don’t allow it to get warm again until the coat is completely dry, or your hard work might be ruined.
* Make sure you remove all rusty spots. Use fine or medium grade sanding paper and a spatula if the layer of paint is thick. Don't leave anything that will make your coat of paint uneven such as any lumps of old paint or rust.
* Use either a cloth or a vacuum cleaner to dust and clean the radiator.
* Shake the tin of paint vigorously as the ingredients can and do separate. Stirring ensures that the colour and the consistency of the finish will look great.
* Apply a thick, even coat of paint. One layer should be enough but check the tin for instructions.
