That can take heat and humidity?

I use a water based laytex on my cages, but the customs don't really have a high humidity.

There is a two part epoxy type paint at Lowe's that is supposed to be really good for high humidity rooms. The big drawback is you would need to let it sit & cure for 30 - 45 days.

That is a long time to wait...

It is a long time so it would have to be planned out in advance. For human use the wait time is 5 - 7 days because we can open windows, turn on fans & vents. For cage use they recommend the long wait since it out gasses while it cures.

Man, you would really have to plan ahead for that one!

I have heard marine paint works for that, never used it personally.

I would think marine paint would have to be pretty environmentally safe....maybe not.

I use simple water based exterior paint......works in the rain and sun, works on cages.

However I also have a HVLP and will be doing mine in 3 part acrylic here before long. Automotive grade.
