central heating pipes - look a mess

this is what i have in most rooms:

twin 15mm pipes for the central heating system running just above the
skirting board. they have been painted several times and the paint is
all lumpy and scabby.
any suggestions as to what to do with them? i could sand them down
and re paint, but it would be hard to paint them properly. i saw in
screwfix a plastic cover for twin pipes , anyone seen it? also boxing
in could be an option.
just wondered what you diy experts would do ! less work the better,
but want a tidy finish!

the cheap, neat option would be ducting - boxing in can be time-consuming and fiddly unless you're a dab-hand with a saw and glue
