Im am building a diy canopy and was wondering what white paint is REEF SAFE to paint the inside of the canopy. Ive heard both Epoxy appliance paint or killz 2. Im leaning towards Epoxy appliance paint because i believe epoxy would be safer and provide a better reflective surface. What brand specific does everyone use ?
Thanks

I used the white Rustoleum appliance epoxy. Mine took 2 cans for a standard 75/90g stand. Make sure you where a mask and the area is well ventilated, stuff sticks to everything. I like the way any water spilled just wipes up even after hours.

Outdoor latex paint.

Or if you are using spray paint, then krylon fusion (you can get it at walmart)

I primed the wood first with a white primer sealer then applied a Dunn Edwards epoxy, I don't remember the exact paint but it has held up well for 9 years now.

+1 on the killz - I had a stand with a 75 on it, then a 90 (same footprint) for over 6 years and never had to repaint...
