Dont bother.
Not used it in years, dulux gloss paint ordinaire.
doesent go yellow or chalky.

True, ordinary gloss should be OK - as is emulsion for that matt-all-along-the-wall soon to be smudgy look. Rolling the gloss on gives a better effect than brushing IMO.

I've used aerosol car spray paint in the past.
That stuff will never come off, which is why it's used for graffiti.

What's your 'tag'? I'll keep an eye open for it.

When I was in London I had graffiti problems on an end wall of my property.
I painted over with masonry paint, and within a day or two, there would be graffiti again.
I became determined to win and must have painted over about 20 times, on one occasion I returned home at 2am, painted the wall, and got up at 9am to find it had been done again.
The person doing the graffiti lost interest in the end and the wall was left alone for months at a time.
During the battle, I became very curious about, and almost respectful of, my enemy and would liked to have met him to shake his hand - before cutting it off at the wrist.

I've been using Dulux 'Once' gloss for quite a while now. It's extremely good for interior and exterior woodwork, but on radiators I find it tends to yellow after just a few months. Maybe Z's Dulux gloss 'Ordinaire' would be more effective.
Thanks for your responses. I'll be trying John's emulsion first.

Unless you have brilliant white walls why would you want brilliant white radiators? Best to buy gloss paint matched to the colour of the walls so they blend in. Not many rads are things of beauty that you wish to stand out.

Thanks. I might try that if I don't like the emulsion.
