Painting heating pipe?

[dkpbxman]

I'm going to need to re-paint the floor to ceiling cast iron steam pipe in my Mom's bathroom. I have no idea when it was last done but the paint now is completely flaking and falling off.

Do I need to use special "heat" paint or will regular paint do the job?

Thanks,

regular paint will flake off. those high heat paints used on engine manifolds will work.
