Default Best way to paint partial Bilge

My sonic has a in-dash cooler that collects water from the melted ice and sends water to the bilge. I don't normally drain the plug every week and as a result the bilge has gotten stained more than I like for a 2004 boat. Any recommendations on how to paint under the motors would be appreciated? The bilge came pre-painted in yellow paint.

awlgrip and sterling have thinners for brush painting the paints. use the tip of the brush be patient and you will be very happy with the results. i prefer awlgrip as i think it holds up better and is harder. paint is less porous than gelcoat so the bilge will clean real easy.
