I have an enclosed trailer I use for my pressure washing business. The inside floor gets wet and I would like to paint the floor with something durable and waterproof. I was thinking a below water boat paint. Any suggestions?
Yeah mainly copper dissolved into it is the main difference. So it kills all growth. You can buy it by itself and add it yourself to kill organisms and stuff if ya want. Some brands have more copper than others. I guess it can be added to even the oil mix if ya wantBoat hull paint is oil based with chems to be slick and resist barnacles. I wouldnt want to walk on it when its wet
Really depends on your budget. A deck stain as suggested will work. I used an oil based enamel made to coat machinery, iorn stairs, doors and such. I got it from a farrell calhoun paint dealer. It didnt take a gallon including the fold down door.I have an enclosed trailer I use for my pressure washing business.

Very nice. You may want to consider caulking that outside permiter edge. Maybe even coating about 1ft high on the walls for good measure. If you plan to work out of it for a few years, that high test bleach, (and even regular bleach,) remnants will rust metal amazingly fast. Once it starts and is apparent it's too late to address later. Other than that little suggestion, I say great job! Good workView attachment 186489 View attachment 186490 View attachment 186491
Went with a 2 part epoxy kit from Home Depot. Applied today. Just waiting for it to cure.
Good idea. I will go back and add some caulk. Easy enough to do as a precaution. I do plan to paint the walls eventually with something to add a barrier. I considered pushing some of the epoxy around the edges to fill them in but ran out and this stuff ain’t cheap! Since the edges aren’t high traffic, I am probably going to use a cheaper 1 part epoxy or exterior paint of some kind. Haven’t researched that part yet but you mentioning it now makes a lot of sense since I do use liquid chlorine sometimes and might store it in there occasionally. Thanks!Very nice.

You can always use some sort of a clear coat perhaps for the walls. All you really need is some sort of millage of paint protecting the metal. It don't have to be of any color per say. Then when done it will still look the same pretty muchGood idea. I will go back and add some caulk. Easy enough to do as a precaution.
