type of paint on fiberglass boat??

i have 2 questions about paint on a fiberglass boat!
1. the inside of a 12' dixie jon boat needs to be painted,, it has a rough material, multi color grey,light grey majority its white would like to paint it white, but what kind of paint can i use? waterproof paint? without making a whole in my pants or wallet!
2. the underside of the boat needs to be repainted, its chipping,, , i pressured washed it and its nice and clean and now its ready for painting. can i use the same type of paint for the inside of the boat? or is there a specific type of paint for the underside ?

thanks here are before pics,

i know this is tin boat website, since i have so many tin boats ,, i know someone can help me out here with . type of paint can be use with a fiberglass boat,,

anyone???

thanks

Look on the previous post, 14ft sea nymph build. We just had a conversation with the guy yesterday from pettitpaints. It has the site and the guy who runs the paint shop is very helpful. https://www.pettitpaint.com/

We went to 2 different boat stores yesterday and they were of zero help to us. That is why we ended up searching the NET.

I used interlux brightside on my last project, it was very easy to use and is durable.

thanks guys!! ,, now i know what direction to go!! thanks :lol:
since its a small 12 jon , i think all i need is a quart on brightside!
i was thinking of getting steelflex for the bottom, like battleship grey,,
i plan to flip this boat and sell it for hmm maybe $350 lowest $300..
i really want now is a 12' aluminum Vhull starcraft....

Honestly on my last fiberglass boat i used exterier latex house paint. Just like yours only it was a gamefisher. Great boat and the paint was cheap and held up for a whole seaon of beaching dragging out of my truck and eveything else. A guy at the ramp told me to use it and if you search online alot of sailboat guys use it as well with great results. Might be worth looking into

I did the whole boat. Bottom was blue inside was white. Exterior latex is pretty durable. I mean it is built to stay on your house for years in te rain snow and sun with no problems. Heres a great link i read when i decided to do mine...Check it out
