What paint sticks well to epoxy? Can I use some rgular outdoor oil
based paint I have left over from making the MiniCups?


ordinary exterior grade latex house paint is good. it sluffs off gradually
instead of peeling like oil based paints tend to do. I used an acrylic
latex house paint on the Dogskff in 1999 and it's still good where it
hasn't been scraped and scratched. I used acrylic because that is what
they had cheap at the building materials recycle store in a decent colour.
However, TF Jones writes that he uses ordinary exterior latex house paint on
the boats he builds.
