Interior Paint.

[Adz]

The time has come to re paint the interior of my wooden Yacht. the interior hull paint is pretty good so I intend to sand and add a coat to freshen up. The paint on the deckhead has peeled and been subject to mildew staining so a little more work required. I would be greatful for any advice and opinions on the best paint for the job.
Thankyou

I use toplac for bulkheads inside, epifanes rubbed varnish for interior wood and for the ceiling, I use nortforte White.

I decided on the varnish and ceiling paint, the previous owner chose toplac and I've just followed on.

Any good quality domestic paint

Any good quality domestic paint

I used to paint wooden hulls in Dulux gloss, looked good and lasted very well. But good quality domestic paint is getting to be a rare beast. I've finally given up on domestic oil-baseds, all now slow-drying, yellow fast, and Dulux might be the worst of them. Most of the waterbased stuff gives a horrible finish, Johnstones "Aqua" range is the least worst I've found so far for finish and usability.

I repainted the interior of mine with this:

Did a couple of years ago and looks like it was done yesterday, good stuff.

Thank you all for the advice. I have been given some paint but can't remember the name will post results on completion.

I used Dulux kitchen emulsion on the deckhead. It lasts very well and it's easy to repaint when neded.

Even though your painting inside, use a good quality exterior paint.

I painted Naida's tops of masts and spar ends with Dulux Weathershield over 5 years ago and still perfect and very white. Been outside ever since. It may be true that most paints are not as good as they used to be since the lead was removed! Key to longevity is preparation and application, I put 4 coats over 6 coats varnish. If it last another 5 years I will be very happy.

Lead was removed from paint in the mid 60s in the UK, so it is unlikely that many of us have experience of paint WITH lead in it. Furthermore, leaded paint discolours with age, unlike modern TiO2 based paints.

Yes I have found interior paints incredibly lacking, even on interiors sometimes! Like PotatoNavigator I use multi-surface paints and these seem to work well enough.
