Any very open radiator covers?
So I purchased a home that has steam heat and the peeling paint on the radiators tested positive for lead…. and here is where it gets interesting I have a cat that likes to lick and rub her face in metallic objects.
I thought about possibly painting them but watching youtube videos of how to remove one has me thinking it is not a DIY yourself job and I'm like Homer Simpson with the grill when it comes to handiness lol.
Any radiator covers that don't block as much? Maybe something that is all mesh?

Custom build covers are available from many sources. having a perforated or louvered top will provide the least amount of restriction to radiator capacity

After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

Those ready covers look like just what I wanted, thanks. Googling for mesh radiator vent didn't really come up with anything, and certain types of mesh are a no go with cats (cut there paws)
