Stand paint

[kevin95695]

I was honestly surprised at how little info I found on the DIY forum...

What have you DIYers done for paint inside your stand. My idea is to paint, and then caulk seams so I have a 'tub' to contain spills. So what would be a good paint? Should I blow money on full on marine paint? Or is there a less expensive substitute?

TIA

I used Kilz, it even comes in a spray can for touch up.

Some have used epoxy while others have actually used pond liner; but, you got the idea. You wanna make sure if/when there is a spill of nasty saltwater (or worse - skimmer effluent) that it doesn't impact your stand.

I used some kind of white boat/marine paint and caulk when I built mine.

I think I'm going to apply a coat of that epoxy that people use to line their garages with though.

I used Marine Grade Paint from West Coast Marine.
Went through about half a gallon for a 90gal stand and canopy.

I've used both Kilz and white "Primer Gripper" (forget the brand it was from HD). They're both pretty good, the gripper seemed to not rub/chip/wear as easily as the Kilz.
