Our Process
At Snowflake Decor, we're proud of our careful approach, ensuring your radiators get a
flawless and long-lasting finish. Here's a glimpse into our process:
1. Preparation
- Safety first: We make sure the radiator is turned off and cool before we start.
- Deep clean: We give the surface a thorough clean, removing any dust, dirt, and grease so the paint sticks properly.
- Smooth it out: A light sanding creates a smooth, even surface and helps get rid of any rust or old paint.
- Primer perfection: We apply a top-quality metal primer to prevent rust and help the paint stick well. If we're respraying, we use a special primer designed for spray paint.
2. Apply Premium Paint
- Brush or roller: If you like traditional painting, we use a special radiator paint that can handle high temperatures without cracking or peeling.
- Spray for a sleek finish: For that super-smooth, factory-fresh look, we use professional spray painting equipment. This gives an even coat with no brush marks and fantastic coverage.
3. The Finishing Touches
- Patience is key: We allow plenty of drying time between coats and before turning the radiator back on, to make sure the finish lasts.
- Multiple coats for the best results: We apply several thin coats, especially when respraying, for the best possible finish.
