Default Painting and Insulating steam heat pipes

Alta47 wrote:

I'm painting the house and I want to paint, and possibly insulate, the
vertical pipes that go up through the rooms. I want to paint them so
they will look better, but I am also concerned about how hot they get
and would like to make them safer in terms of tenants' kids grabbing
or leaning against a hot pipe. Any ideas regarding type of paint and
or insulation I should use?


They will only lean or grab once.
