I am trying to make a basement bathroom look less than a dungeon! There are pipes running through it that are water lines and heat venting. Is there a special paint I should use on these?
Thank you!

Are they bare metal? Iron and aluminum for example. Rusty? Clean? They should be primed first, then use any latex paint. Best for steel is a red oxide primer, for aluminum, acrylic.
