Painting of radiators

We recently moved into a 100+ year old home and the steam heat radiators are more than likely original to the home. All of them have numerous coats of paint on them. Is this a problem? If so, how do we fix them?

Also, how do we remove a radiator that is no longer needed?

Thanks in advance!

    Under tech topics or library there is a great article on rad paint. Sandblast them first. The color and paint type does matter.

    What type of steam heat do you have?

    Removing a radiator

    I believe the best technique (using one hand only) is to carefully manipulate your mouse to go to the top left corner & click on Find a Professional. How do you know you don't need that rad?
