What kind of paint would I use for the bathroom so it doesn't peel when it steams up?
Use a good quality primer and paint. You can get a paint/primer in one but if you're having a lot of steam issues, get primer and paint separately. I once used some DIY custom color for my bathroom. I made it up from a bunch of left over paints I had. All were latex but some were indoor, some outdoor. It seemed to hold up very well in the bathroom conditions. And if at all possible, try to leave the window or door into the bathroom open just a little when showering to let the steam escape. Some exhaust fans just don't do the trick al by themselves.
