Painting Icebox.

Post by Jeff PT403 »

Is there any special paint I need to use on the inside of a icebox I made and fiberglassed inside?
Or is it best to leave unpainted.

Thanks Jeff

I just built a new ice chest in my boat and I final coated with epoxy with a white pigment added. Takes a few coats, because it isn't very opaque, but works well.

Pigment can be obtained from the Gougeon's. Include the pigment in your mix rate because is IS resin.

Of course, if you don't object to the darker epoxy color, no real reason to paint. It's waterproof after all.
