so you're saying micron optima will stick to the plastic body of ST40 paddle
wheel?
if, yes, I gonna give it a try. you just won't believe the eco system that
lives in the paddle wheel after 1 week in water!

TVMIA.

Try reading the cans or asking the manufacturers....

e.g. International Micron Optima is water based (emulsion paint) but
expensive.

A clue is the drying times look more like 24 hours than 12 hours as the
water has to dry off first before the paint starts to cure.
