white marine paint

Trying to track this stuff down, went to Lowe's and HD, and neither one had any. Anyone know where to find some?

Might need to be more specific.

If you asked me for a marine grade paint I'd send you to West Marine over at 183 and Burnet. But then I'd think that a marine grade paint would contain lead, copper, zinc or other metals that they put into the paint for longevity and to poison marine creatures that attach themselves to the hulls of ships. You certainly wouldn't want that in your tank.

If you want to paint the inside of your stand or something like that then maybe UGL Drylok http://www0.epinions.com/content_84095241860

Oh and I shoulda mentioned Drylok is sold at all the home stores.

Cool, thanks. I'm looking to paint the inside of a canopy.

I've had really good luck with Tile-Clad HS expoxy paint, sold at Sherwin Williams. It's intended for industrial/commercial use, and actually has an ASTM salt fog rating. It's a two part epoxy based paint that comes bright white, but can be tinted in the store if desired. If you use it definitely do it outside, the fumes are a killer, but once it sets it's really tough stuff, and inert enough to be used in kitchen/laboratory applications.
