Hi,
I'd lake to paint behind my old-fashioned (hot water) radiators. It is
easy/safe to remove them and then put them back? What should I be aware
of?
Many thanks in advance!

No its not easy the fittings are rusted , it is realy not a good idea to
do this to make painting easy, first you need to drain the boiler, then
refill and bleed the system, then get it fully hot for maybe 24 hrs to
boil- cook out the oxygen in the water, or over the summer alot of rust
will occur, and maybe in fall,you will have leaks when you turn the
system on.

Put radiator covers in from and you won't see that the paint is faded.
Agree with the other poster, do not remove them.
Maybe one of those pad painters on a stick?
