painting inside of a canopy?

[350gt]

Anyone done it? Overkill? Suggestions?

I just had ACE build mine and I am going to take my time to stain and was thinking about protecting the inside. And if any of the light can get bounced back into the tank, that would be a plus...

At the club in FL we had a 5g bucket of white high gloss marine epoxy that we passed around. If was very thick, shinny, and guess what, salter water compatible. Not sure if we have a marine store here that has boat paint. Maybe during our trip to port-a we could get some.

There is one close to my house that I might check out tomorrow.

I painted mine gloss white. It wasn't marine paint but still to protect if from humidity. Also to reflect some of the light.

Please let us know if you find the white marine paint. I have an ace built cabinent/canopy also to paint/stain.
