I have an old 1978 Lake Flight Plastics Tri-Hull that I would like to paint the inside of. What brand/type of paint should I use?

I'm just looking to give the inside the boat a freshened up look. Nothing major, don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on it.

For just a basic freshening up, I've had good luck with Rustoleum Oil Based Enamel (High Gloss). It covers beautifully, dries hard and shinny and is only about $8 a quart. Be sure to have some acetone handy to clean with, but it's great stuff and you can get it just about anywhere. There is also an "Industrial" version that works well too. Just my $.02.

Check Page 10 in my "My Flamingo" thread listed below. It has the details you're looking for. I painted my boat with Valspar and the hardener and it turned out great. Cost less than $80 bucks.
