Best brush on paint for steam radiators

Any decent acrylic. Consider a rust blocker or rust converter if you have rust...

Don't paint your radiators until the heating season is over unless you want to deal will noxious fumes for a few months.

Acrylic doesn't have a fume problem. Don't use oil. Definitely don't use high-temp

I used Behr acrylic and it smelled for three months, had to leave the windows open at night, be safe and wait until spring. It takes a few months to fully cure.

I didn't have that experience with Behr but it doesn't hurt to wait, as you say
