Default Ready to paint my bilge, narrowed it down But Need part #s

I think I have read at least 100 posts regarding bilge paint and what works best. I have narrowed it down to 2 options....

Sherman Williams industrial epoxy
Awlgrip

Does anyone have specifics on either of these products? If you go to either Sherman Williams or awlgrips website they each have dozens of paint/epoxy products.

I am looking for specific part numbers so I can order what I need.

Thanks
Jim

This stuff is cheap and works really good. If you have a serious project I might go otherwise but Ive used it on 3 boats now one was over 4 yrs ago and they still look great. Oil wipes right up and doesnt stain. The prep work is more important than the paint

Thanks flying J!

Out of the 100 or so posts I read never once did I see this product talked about so naturally I a bit leery! Do you have any pics of completed bilges? I want to go pure white and am curious if it will yellow over time?

Thanks
Jim

the sw epoxy is great stuff but too expensive...i use their polyurethane marine paint on bilges in boats,,chemical resistant,wont yellow and one true gallon of paint and 1 quart of hardener goes for about 120 bucks.. it goes on thick and you could probably get it done in one coat but i usually do two..
white paint part # b65w311,hardener b60v30..it smells like awlgrip and irons ware a respirator..

I have used it and its cheap probably not the best but works well. It was just a cheap suggestion that has worked for me in the past.
