[Public-List] Interior/Cabin Paints

[Jonathan Bresler via Public-List]

Folks,

Took a look at Practical Sailor to see which paints they recommend for
painting the overhead, interior of the lockers, etc.  No joy.  Didn't find
a single article about interior paints.  Deck paints, topside paints,
bottom paints, bilge paints are all covered, but not interior paints.

No doubt that this has been discussed before, wondering what folks are
using now.  What have folks used and decided not to use again.

The motivating item here is that I removed the Masonite(?) pegboard in the
v-berth which is used to cover the hull on port and starboard from the top
of the v-berth to the underside of the deck.  Behind the v-berth is a
"lovely yellowish" color.   The wife will NOT be happy with that.  The
pegboard one each side of the v-berth was screwed to five shaped teak
strips oriented vertically.  Nearly all the teak strips were loose. Now
they are all loose and have been labeled for reinstallation.  The teak
strips were attached to the hull with three very generous globs of
fiberglass resin(?) each.  The globs are so thick that there was a clear
gap between the teak strips and the hull.  Need to reattach these strips
and paint the sides of the hull and the overhead before attaching a ceiling
to the strips.

Couple photos available on request.
