Flammable paint ?

Hi All.
I have just painted the pipes that go into the floor of my radiator with gold paint, It looks great, but I have just read the tin and it says it can withstand a temperature of 110 degrees c .

Now I'm concerned that it could maybe ignite if the radiator becomes very hot ???
Should I leave my other radiators alone ?

I would appreciate any advice

if your ears get to 110c I think the paint will be the least of your worries

Water boils at 100C, you're hot water can't get above that unless you've done something crazy to your heating system.
