Toirtis Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Marine epoxy paint would work (it is what one uses to paint the inside of plywood tanks), but it ain't cheap. I wouldn't recommend using it on Vinyl. Aquapon, which is one of the products most commonly used, can be quite harsh on plastics. It can eat through the plastic paint-trays to say the least. Thanks for the info...I have never used the stuff on anything but boats and wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
