Has anybody try painting interior? Mine is beige and I would like it to be white. Thks

I highly recommend Interlux Brightside Polyurethane. I rolled and tipped my main cabin this summer, going from the original off-white, which no amount of cleaning could restore, to a warm light cream which I arrived at by mixing two colours. I used two quarts and am very satisfied. As a single-part polyurethane, it doesn't require mixing and there are no runs or brush marks. It took me a day or surface preparation, filling little dings, etc., taping ports, removing cushions and various fixtures and a couple of hours the following day to paint.

No primer required. I just cleaned everything with Vim Bath & Kitchen cleaner, which contains a really mild abrasive (I think diatoms) and then wiped down with acetone.

I did that couple of years ago. TSP'd the surface to remove waxes and oils, rinsed with freshwater, sanded the surface, then 3 coats of white melamine paint from a Benjamin Moore store, rolled and tipped. Came out just great. That paint dries slowly, but I had a heated workshop. Wear respirator and have good ventilation. I plan to do the head and v-berth in the spring.

Bear in mind I have experience with only one, and only two years out so far.
