Paint for inside of canopy?

[DriftingNemo]

Hello my fellow reefers, I've been gone for a few months and have left my tank on cruise control with no upgrades or new livestock (unlikely of me). I'm about 1/3 of the way from completing a canopy for my 15 gallon tank. It's a stupid simple design and I was wondering what type of paint I should use for this build? I know that the best colour to paint the inside of the canopy is white, but what type of paint? Emulsion? Will automotive spray paint and lacquer work for this? I know about Rustoleum Neverwet, but that stuff is out of my price range. I don't want to spend this much effort into building a canopy and then have it self destruct due to humidity. Any advice appreciated.

Kilz.

 

Or spray Plastidip white.

I used Rust-Oleum spray appliance epoxy from HD for the basin/inner walls of my stand. It says to use it on metals but I didn't have any issues with it coating/sealing wood. It is easy to apply, cheap and dries with a glossy/hard type finish commonly found on refrigerators and other kitchen appliances. I poured water on it afterwards to test and have been running it for almost a year now with no issues. I was originally going to use the Kilz stuff that most people recommend but read about this stuff and decided to give it a shot.

Fusion is also one that is reef safe, even for plumping....forms a permanent bond so no getting it off later.

Thank you all for the suggestions, but I've only read this just now and have finished painted my canopy. I used a couple of coats of Dulux indoor wall paint which is quick drying, then I added a few coats of automotive clear lacquer on top of the wall paint which gives a glossy finish. I won't start using the canopy until the smell of paint is completely gone.
