Advice re radiator valve

[martin0095]

I am a newbie to this forum and need some advice please. My daughter has just bought her first house and naturally Dad has been asked to do some diy jobs. She wants me to remove a radiator (so she can paint behind it) but I am not sure how to close the valve to be able to remove it as I notice the valve is missing. Does anyone know what valve should be fitted. I have attached a photo of the radiator.

Looks like a Drayton rt 212

If valves look the same use one off another rad, failing that purchase a decorators cap.

Don't do it...paint her wall black that is.
