Thanks for hints. I'll paint the radiators metallic grey for an 'industrial' look.

Am getting one of these fitted in a few months time.

Wide screen TV?

And before you prime them put a stopping agent on any knots; it stops them popping out later in life, in the trade known as knot, stop & prime, you can buy skirtings that have been treated & primed; you just need to paint them & satin wood is easier than gloss.

If you are doing a full re-dec remember that you can paint a cold raidiator with satin wood to match your woodwork. (& is cheaper than rad paint)

Oh well I guess we'd better close General, now he's spoken this ruling.

All you need to do it fill the screw holes and cork the top.

Yeah, get a big comfy automatic, a Cuban cigar and calm down, man.

I don't seem calm?

I thought this thread would be on the troubles of doing proper downshifting in a car with manual transmission.
I have some problems when going from 4th to 3rd on a racetrack when approching a corner with a curved braking zone.

Any hints?

Tanks for the hint. Will do.

It was a damn sight more on-topic that Spurs & Glasgow Rangers.

Removing the skirting’s to paint (unless you are replacing them) seems excessive - have you tried extra wide masking tape?
