Default Painting and Pipes

I have just painted the kitchen and our heating pipes haven't covered
properly. The paint looks like it has come off and they have gone black.
What can I put on this? I think its just condensation.

Thanks Eddie

Try a metal primer on it first. Also acrylic and alkyd (gloss) paints will
stick better than a vinyl emulsion. Finally, they may look a lot better
boxed in, especially as your pipes are now coated in flaking paint that will
need to be removed otherwise.
