I sprayed mine with gloss chassis black paint because I had some, it works OK and looks good.

Why not strip the paint and polish the top. SOME people think it looks attractive!!

i would have thought any metal paint rated to say 150 degrees will do? what is domestic radiator paint rated to? that comes in a choice of colours and paint/spray options

Normal primer and paint should be fine. I've had no problems with it in satin or gloss. If your water temperature in the radiator is getting to 150 oC then paint peeling is the last of your worries.
