When is it useful to paint a radiator?

Painting a radiator can be done for various reasons:

The walls are painted: Suppose you have decided to give the walls of your home a new lick of paint. Your living room or kitchen may look really nice after the paint job, but the same cannot probably be said for the radiator. Especially if you have chosen a darker shade, a white radiator, for example, is anything but pleasing to the eye.
Presence of rust spots: Do you have rust spots on your radiators? Then you need to sand them extensively to get rid of them. Afterwards you can paint your radiators for a more pleasant view.
Discoloured or damaged radiators: Do your radiators look yellow or are they slightly damaged here and there? Even in this case, painting your radiators can be a cheap and efficient solution.
