What Paint to paint the bilge?

I have been cleaning, scubing and scouring our new boat.

One of my many projects is to paint the bildge a nice clean, smooth, gloss white.

What is the best most durable paint to use?

Where to get it.

What is best? A marine top coat, bottom coat or a garage floor epoxy or?

Thanks for you input.

Bilgekote - White, Quart $36.99

Helps to protect gelcoat and fiberglass in the bilge.
Bilgekote is a fast-drying, durable coating formulated for application to bilge areas. Bilgekote helps prevent absorption of oil, gasoline or sludge into wood and fiberglass.
