painting a bilge

[BoatCrazy]

So i ripped the floor out today of my new project boat / restore.

I am going to paint the bilge on it, and was wondering what kind of paint I should use?

Its an 18' boat so it doesnt have to be the best grade paint, since a floor is going over it as well...

Bilge coat!! Comes in whote or gray.

I agree with using the Interlux Bilge Coat but if you are looking to spend less then 20 bucks a quart then just buy a good Enamel based paint.
As long as it is impervious to gas and oils your OK, a friend who is on the cheap side painted his old Nova Trawler bilge with Enamel and it and turned out fine.
