Ditto on the oil based paint.
If you can spray (no runs and sags and dribbles), good old Rustoleum
works well on interior surfaces. Otherwise, a properly thinned oil
based paint is long lasting and trouble free..... apply with the 'roll
and tip' method.

I've used plain old oil based house paint on boat interiors for years. Don't
feel I need the UV protection inside the boat that make boat paints so
popular.

Oil base paint is tough, durable and washable. As well as a lot easier to
use than a lot of the boat paints.

I also don't believe everything I take on my boat has to be carried aboard
in a "West Marine" bag, alot of the stuff I use comes aboard in a "Wal-Mart"
bag.

Hi,
In an effort to do less varnishing and to achieve a more traditional look,
I'm
going to paint sections of my interior with off white paint. The trim
which is
teak and other hardwood will remain varnished. I'm looking for a good
paint. If anyone else has done this let me know the paint you used.

Thanks
