Metal radiator cover tops are discolored from water damage
+8
I have metal radiator covers and the tops are discolored from water damage from plants. What is the best way to fix this and still come out with the same finish as the original cover? I'll send a picture along later.

There are many high heat spray paints available in various finishes. I'd try to match as close as possible.

I agree with Marion. The exposed side of my stove was rusty and ugly. I painted it with engine paint from an auto store. It looks good and is holding up well.

Waiting for the photo! Are they textured, wood grain, painted, etc?!

The quick fix for me would be to put a table runner along the top. Then you can wash it as often as needed.

Looks like wood grain over metal. Wash the cover with vinegar, water, and a few squirts of dish washing liquid. Wipe and dry. Put a dab of white toothpaste on a damp cloth and gently rub the water spots. Wipe the toothpaste off. For the scratches. Use a clean cloth, brown paste shoe polish. Rub the cloth in the shoe polish and lightly coat the cover top in in a circular motion. Let it set for a few minutes, then polish it with a clean cloth. The polish will fill in the scratches and polishing will blend the surface.
