How can I choose the best type of paint for a high-moisture area?

What kind of paint would give the best protection for the woodwork of a window in the middle of our bathtub/shower area?

    Unfortunately, any type
    of paint will ultimately fail in a high-moisture area such as a shower. To
    achieve the longest-lasting finish, sand to bare wood and apply an oil-based
    primer followed by two coats of alkyd paint. If and when you replace the
    window, vinyl would be a better choice than wood because vinyl never needs to be
    painted.
