Inexpensive initially? Or, after you have done it 10 x? This is a brutal and dangerous job. It should cost a lot. Radiators are heavy and by design, have a lot of surface area, much of it blocked. Even if you get the radiator thoroughly stripped with chemical stripper, aiming a paint sprayer at it will be drippy and saggy in the most exposed parts, and still not re-coat all the bare metal in the most concealed parts. Stripper is difficult to handle safely in the house, and moving radiators out and back in to do the job, also costs money. Have them transported from your curb, sandblasted and powder coated. Try Ever Nu. I think it will be a one time payment. You still need to carry them in and out of your house. Matching colors, or just approximating them, is also an expense.
