Just be sure to try it in a small area first. Like I said I've used it to varying degrees of success. Sometimes it turns out well and sometimes it looks like it has done nothing at all, but for $10 theres not much to lose.

I've used Howard Restor a Finish before to varying success. It won't get them back to a completely finished look, but in a pinch it makes it look a little better. It just blends the scratches into the floor a bit.

It's less than $10. Just try it in a small spot first to match color.

Hi @Bill Exeter

Thanks for clearing that up for him, I wasn't sure!

I have a follow up question, if you hold a 2-4 unit property and live in one and rent the others would that allow it to qualify for 1031 even though it is your primary residence as well?

Thanks @Max T.

I replaced them yesterday successfully. Followed your advice with primer/sealer and so far so good. Putting white on this afternoon.

Looking good and thanks for your suggestion @Account Closed

After this conversation maybe fully metal covers are best. You've brought up some good points. Thanks!

In our experience some people find radiators to be unattractive so we were looking for covers. From this conversation it may be more work than it is worth to build them and might be better to just buy metal covers.

Thank you @Account Closed

The frame would be made of wood but the front and sides would be metal. Do you think that would be problematic? @Account Closed

Hey Derone,

Good advice and keep your head up! Just realize that even though the situation is a bummer it was a learning experience that will build towards your future success.

Definitely don't sand it off if it may have asbestos. Do you know the age of the ceiling?
