Problem

Yellowing on radiators

Cause

Conventional gloss paints discolour due to the effects of heat.

Putting it right

There are two options to prevent it happening. Firstly, paint the radiator the same colour as the wall as yellowing is much more noticeable with white paint. Alternatively use Hammerite Quick Drying Radiator Enamel (White or Magnolia) or Radiator Enamel (White) or Radiator Shades.
