Painting a Rayburn
MC Emily
Well, since I've been searching for all things 'Rayburn', I came across a
site where someone has painted their Rayburn with Hammerite. You can see
the pictures at
http://our.farmhouse.users.btopenworld.com/raypaint.html
I wrote to these people and asked them about it - things like has it cracked
with the heat, is the paint patchy, what does it look like? They wrote back
and said that the Rayburn was originally cream. The people before them
painted it with red Hammerite and they've now painted it with green. They
said it's not patchy and they think it looks great. They haven't switched
it on since they painted it but the people before used it and it hadn't
cracked the red paint.
So, what do people here think? Is it a good idea or not? Just in case I
came across a Rayburn which was a foul colour or badly chipped, I enquired
as to the cost of having one re-enamelled and was quoted £650 + VAT. A tin
of Hammerite would be a site cheaper!!! What's your views?

I know someone who painted an ancient AGA in almost constant use with
"radiator paint" -- some sort of high temp engine paint, I presume. Baby
Blue. It looked presentable if not perfect, although the hotplate covers
eventually discoloured from the heat.

That's really interesting. So, really, there's no need to stick to the
factory colours? I guess by using paint pigments you could have virtually
any colour you wanted. Cool!!! Now, how would Penelope Pitstop Pink look
against those stone walls..........??? ;o)

Bear in mind the brush marks show in the right/wrong light, and that
blue did discolour in time.
I clearly need something to cheer me up.
Shooglenifty!
Sirius
colour range is limited and its probably not designed for surfaces that may

Back in the days when I used to drive a sports car, it was fashionable
to spray paint the exhaust system. High temperature paint was available
from the auto accessory dealers and probably still is. Really exciting
colours:-)

I'm not sure that the Hammerite types of paint would be wise. They take
a _long_ time to fully dry, and you don't want the paint to be emitting
flammable solvents for several months.
Radiator paint is definitely a better choice.
Brush painting is something which improves with practice. My father is
82 and is still trying.

Nah! Roof off from February to November. What do you think the flat hat
was for.
It remains to be seen if there will be any arthritic consequences.
Eventually I fitted a stainless steel system which removed any perceived
benefit from longer life.

I'm a really sad git. (Looks around office) I have 8 keyboards in here.
After an experience with a glass of red a few years back, they're all both
cheap and waterproof.

Is the sad git rating directly related to number of keyboards? I didn't
know that :-)
If eight gets you into 'Really Sad Git' where do I er, sit with three?

OK - confession time. What's *really* sad is that I've got 5 CPUs with no
keyboard attached. And another one coming on Tuesday. I'm looking for a
house with a barn 'cause the sound of the fans is driving me crazy.

Does that make 13 CPUs in total? How many moni... no, I don't want to
know. You're right. That is Really Sad. Alternatively you're into
Serious Computing, which may amount to the same thing.

I'm sure the SCSI connectors are breeding in there, possibly hybridising

Sounds like you have one of those weird rooms where the corners meet at
_exactly_ ninety degrees, and only one parallel straight line passes
through a given point.
Unnatural, it is. There's nothing as soothing as playing with a fractal
Rubik's Tesseract.

Indeed so. To counter entropy and maintain the room in this state
requires a significant amount of energy emitted by a complex array of
equipment and cabling. Trialling the rituals to establish the right
frame of mind as well as time is stressful, to say the least.
And then there are the odd socks.

I knew a chap who claimed to have sorted the entire ritual and sock

According to my daughter, odd socks are now an essential fashion
statement. Which suits me fine. Now I don't have to pair hers up after
they've found their way through the laundry system. However, being a
bit of a traditionalist, I still prefer mine to match.

You knew Fenders? There are no derogations of his method available here:
we have to stick with the old ways -- and the local virgin quota was
exceeded months ago in the crop circle prevention campaign. I use RAM
instead (I've got a 64Mb SODIMM for the purpose) combined with cat hair:
the felted mass extracted from the back of the floppy drive is
particularly efficacious. You do have to be certain your teeth are
correctly polarised, but mac users are accustomed to that :-)

Given that what we think is real is in reality a function of our
perceptions and our ability to interpret our perceptions, what do you
think really exists where you perceive Neasden?

I believe Neasden may now be real, but once it was a place of magic, an
ethereal fantasy, as fantastical as Fanghorn or Azenomei. Now it appears to
merely be a place, what it took the place of I cannot remember.
perhaps at the next reboot it might again drift back into the realms of the
imagination, allowing its place in our current reality to be taken by
somewhere equally fabulous, such as Wogga Wogga or Timbuktu.

Certainly a lot of strangeness and charm.

It does, you know. Really. It's just the reboot takes a *long* time.

Not all by itself[1], but you could use it to produce instructions on
how to paint a Rayburn, or write a book on the painting of Rayburns.
[1] At least not that I know of in this reality ...

No need to write a book. Just cut & paste from this thread and you'll
have all you ever needed to know but had more sense than to ask.

But most of it has little to do with _actually _ painting a Rayburn.
Perhaps 'painting a Rayburn' should become an official euphemism for
discussing any topic other than that one is supposed to be discussing?
As in "We're just wasting a few minutes painting a Rayburn."

Who would have changed the subject, honest, but my newreader clips the
new subject to create a new thread. Tidy, but I've had complaints.

Yes
I see your point .....
Groovy, as they used to say.

You've never come across the BestToastInTheWorld plug-in, I take it?

I'm actively avoiding it: word is it destroys the CD burner in no time
