Default Bilge paint??

Anybody know what kind/brand of gloss white paint Cigarette used in their bilges in the late '90s? I just want to touch up a few spots. I emailed Cigarette and Lip Ship and they never replied. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Cigboat28

I used Bilgekote on the 1993 Top Gun, worked great!

I used awlgrip in the Mistress (red color) much more difficult to use and deal with, Bilgekote was easy, it's all in the prep, rough up with sand paper, clean, and clean again, and then apply. I have heard of guys using rustoleum with a Gardner with good success too. But Bilgekote isn't that much more for a proven good product that resists oils and bilge contaminants.

I likewise have heard a number of people use Rust-o-leum with very good results.

All the best

I've always used Awl Grip but have always wanted to try Bilgekoat from all the good things I have heard.
