perfectly normal it will take about a week
try half a spanish onion left by the radiator to soak up the smellI have painted my radiator with dulux one coat gloss and now fumes are coming from it this stater 3 days after
The one-coat itself should be fine for using on radiators... What surface are you paintinng onto... is the radiator already painted? It is onto the original powder-coating?
If you're painting onto paint, occasionally, there can be a reaction...
Is the room particularly small or cold? - Is there adequate ventilation?
Sounds like you used a cheap paint instead of the metal paint that should have been used, then turned on the heat before the paint was completly cured. Just because it's dry to the touch doesn't mean it's cured.
I think you should really use a flat black spray paint to paint car radiators ---- not the glossy spray paint.
Anyway ----- the paint should ';bake'; in soon and the fumes will go away ~~~~~~~~~ unless --(??) there is a overheating problem ,with your cooling system.
If it';s a ';heat'; radiator used to heat your home(?) --- then it';s still going to take some time to finally ';bake'; in, and stop giving off fumes.
Next time ---- use a paint that is fast drying ,and low toxicity level --- read the label.
A high temp. bar-b-que spray paint probably should have been used, instead of what you used--- costs a little more($4-$5 can),but stands up better ,for your application.
Have a nice day. -------------------------- +++Spock+++
You need to go to a paint shop and talk with them about this. You don't want to become sick or die from this. If it is cold where you live, use an electric space heater until you get some answers about the paint. Do not leave the space heater on while you are away from your house. For now read the paint can, even the small print and see what it cautions against.
