METAL magic

Transform dull radiators into statement pieces with a helping hand from Harris’ range of high-quality tools

-

With the return of cooler mornings and evenings, your radiators might be coming back into service after their summer break. However, if yours are looking a little shabby, scuffed or dated, then now is the ideal time to give them a fresh lick of bright white paint, or set the tone to a cosier mood with a darker shade. Harris has a new range of decorating tools designed specifical­ly for metal, which will take the hard work out of the job and leave you with a gleaming, drip-free finish on your radiators.

?? ?? A piece of wall furniture in its own right, a painted radiator can add a splash of colour to a muted hallway, bedroom or living room. Choose the 15mm Seriously Good Metalwork Brush for ironwork or ribbed radiators, as you’ll have more control between the bars to avoid smudges or applying too much paint. Plus, Harris’ NO-LOSS™ technology will ensure no loose bristles are left stuck to the surface.

?? ?? Much like any other decorating task, preparatio­n is vital. Lightly sand the radiator’s surface then give it a good clean with diluted sugar soap. Protect the adjacent areas with a dust sheet and use masking tape to protect the walls or skirting. Invest in quality tools to make the prepping, priming and painting jobs a breeze, and you’ll reap the benefits with a flawless finish.
