Paint for inside lockers etc

[neilmcc]

I am going to give the storage lockers a coat of paint inside. Most of the underseat ones are the inside of the hull. Is there any special paint I should be using?
I thought some sort of anti-condensation paint would do the trick.
Any pitfalls or recommendations?

I used Dulux kitchen emulsion. It is washable and you can just slap another coat on without having to rub down the previous coat

Danboline is the normal stuff to use..

danboline is great stuff. The 2.5 ltr tin is good value. So durable. Hempel do more colours than international.

for a tough and smooth finish I use flowcoat.

I have one locker which had some mould (the top of the locker was the underside of the deck). After cleaning, I used anti-condensation paint. No recurrence of mould after many years.

No downside. In fact I painted some cabinside fibreglass elsewhere with it a few years ago, at the back of some shelves. It seems perfectly adequate just as a paint.

Blakes (Hempel)

their version is called multicoat and we've just done the chain locker with it. Marvellous stuff; easily applied, bright white finish. Seems like a tough surface.

Didn't she get her head chopped off by Henry V111 ?

Maybe, or it could have been her sister windolene?

Flag bilge paint is another, cheaper, option

How on earth does 'anti-condensation' paint work? Does it provide an insulation layer?

 

[30boat]

I usually use epoxy paint with good results.

Agree - I used the cheapest Screwfix floor paint - it goes on and stays on brilliantly - used it for the bilge too!

The problem with painting lockers is lack of access. Trying to properly prepare the surface by sanding-down can be almost impossible. Most of the time the best you can achieve is a wash-down with sugar-soap and scraping off any loose bits of old paint within reach. No point in spending a lot of money on fancy paint after that. Might as well use emulsion. Modern ones are very tough and opaque, and washable.

Yes Flag, works for me, good price too.

The "white" is more a cream colour.

Sold in branches of Toolstation.

Yes, often by using powdered cork in the paint.
