I used sherwin williams industrial enamel with a good primer like kilz turned out good and is very water/salt resistant.

I would prime for sure and took a good 2 days for paint to be really dry but it was in a cold garage.

I use marine epoxy paint its more costly and takes for ever to to dry but its awsome when it does.

I used killz.. It dries super fast comes in brush or spray can. It dries very 'flat' and would be best to top coat with some kind of smooth enamel for cleaning purposes..

If it's bare wood you need the kilz. Otherwise it will take about 50 coats because the paint will just keep soaking in.
