Painting a Radiator Cover | MDF Preparation & Colour Guide

Painting a radiator cover is a practical way to refresh your furniture and coordinate it with your room. Whether you are working with unfinished MDF or repainting an existing cabinet, careful preparation helps create a smoother finish. Start by cleaning the surface, checking its condition and lightly sanding where appropriate. Use a suitable primer for bare MDF and choose a compatible paint recommended for the material and expected temperatures. Allow each coat to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions before reassembling the cabinet.
