| I want to paint my cabin bulkhead and deck inside the cabin. What types of paint can I use to pain the inside of my sailboat? I mostly want to paint the bulk heads white and the floor with a more durable white paint. Any ideas? | |

| I would go to a paint store and see what they recommend.
The best color for a floor may not be white. Grey does not show foot tracks. When a store paints a floor, they choose grey. I have a grey painted store floor and it is by far my best high traffic floor I have had in years of retail | |

| I am sure a paint store would recommend a marine grade interior paint. More than likely an oil base paint but I am sure it comes in a water base paint as well.
I need paint as well so I will be going to the paint store. I will post what they tell me. | |
