What is the best paint or epoxy to use for the bilge and engine room?  I thought Awlgrip was supposed to be the best but then I read that it wasn't supposed to be used below the water line.  I don't have salt water leaks but rainwater works it's way into the bilge from the engine hatch area.  I am not sure what was used on from the factory but it's getting older and stained.

I’m following your question. Have the same issue in the bilge area and wondering what paint to use. Hoping someone has the answer.

West Marine has a decent quality bilge paint that will freshen/brighten that up.
