Can this paint be used on an electric radiator? Thanks
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
The temperature limit for this paint is 80°c. As we don’t know what actual surface temperature the heater will get up to we can’t say for sure if the paint will be OK on any particular heater, it could depend on the model, type etc. You will need to check with the manufacturer to find out what the surface temperature of their particular heater will get to during use.
If it exceeds 80°c you could consider Blackfriar Quick Drying Radiator Paint this will take temperatures up to 150°C and is available in a white semi-gloss finish.

hi can your combi multi surface paint be used to paint the ramp of my horse lorry
We want to coat a glass top, patio furniture table so it becomes opaque. Would this or any other of your products be suitable?
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Rust-Oleum CombiColor Multi-Surface is suitable to be applied to glass but wouldn't be suitable for a table top, it may work better to coat the underneath of the table top so the colour shows through but the glass top can still take the wear and tear.

Question:
Can I use this to recoat Promain multisurface paint applied to my metal gates 5 years ago?
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
We are not familiar with the specific product you have mentioned but if your gates are metal and need recoating we would suggest the original version of Rust-Oleum CombiColor rather than the Multi-Surface version. Assuming the existing paint is sound and well adhered you should just be able to clean down, lightly sand and apply 2 coats of Rust-Oleum CombiColor in the desired colour and finish.
Hello, Is the multi surface product suitable for chalkboards please. If so would the surface be wipeable (if there is such a word). Thank you in advance
