Well I am?

Saw a house last week and each and every radiator was painted. Ranging from sky blue to burgundy. Why???????????

The whole lot would need to be replaced.

Grrr

I have painted my radiators to match my walls

you can buy special stuff hat you paint over them then repaint

it is no biggie, I presume you'e want to repaint the burgundy rooms anyway

we have painted our radiators to match the walls in some rooms depending on the colour

get radiator covers.

better than painting them something that contrasts vividly with the walls, non?

(although sky blue and burgundy paint anywhere would put me off a house)
