Interior fiberglass coating

[brisa]

I own a 31 Cal that originally had carpet covering the interior walls in the saloon and berth. The previous owner stripped the carpet I the berth, exposing the fiberglass. I'm not a big fan of carpet and have been thinking on painting the walls with some sort of rubber-washable coat. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Thank you

Not sure if this would interest you but...I used to build fiberglass pools and we used this paint. Really good stuff.

Just one. Be sure to read the labels very carefully. This type of product is great but the fumes during application can be deadly.

I would also expect some lingering ordor in an enclosed space.

Why rubberized?

Durabak,AwlGrip, GelCoat, Valspar Farm Implement, Rustoleum

Tractor Supply Majc: "Paint Your Boat for Under $100 Bucks"

Adding the Valspar or Majic paint hardener will give it additional gloss & improve the paint's toughness/abrasion resistance

I would apply a fabric of some kind with some spray adhesive and do not paint the glass.

If you ever had a repair that needed to be done it sooo much better to be able to inspect the fiberglass from the inside without having to Grind off paint.

Depends how much you want visual vs. usefulness.

A $500 repair can goto $1000 with a quick coverup of paint.
