Floor Paint?

[Adam76]

Hi everyone, I've been re-doing my boat this winter and now I'm looking for a paint to use on the floor and side panels. The floor and side panels are freshly fiberglassed. I was looking into using Rustoleum then while at Lowes I saw the Valspar Duramax paint. Does anyone now if this is good to use on a boat and how it will hold up, or should I just stick with the Rustoleum. Also I must say this forum is great, all the threads here really helped me out with my resto.
Thanks
Adam

Just use un-waxed gel-coat, it should water proof it? @Woodonglass Check out friscoboaters thread. I will be putting down a layer of 1.5oz CSM with poly resin then cover with gel-coat. Water roll to the bilge and out!

I used Valspar and rustolium on my "budget rebuild"

On the inside of the boat, the sides held up nice then deck, There are spots where the paint has wore away (only one summer of use) and been nicked away.
I tore out my homemade seats and I'm rebuilding some back to back seats to put in, so I'll be in the market to refinish the deck to a longer lasting.

I was washable ( no carpeting) and slip resistant, but comfy on bare feet.

Why would you use unwaxed??? You don't want it to cure up??
