Choosing interior color for CD 10 restoration

Post by Jack in Norfolk »

I need to paint the interior of my Cape Dory 10. I have applied barrier coat inside the dinghy. Next I need to sand it and apply a finish coat. The gelcoat on the hull has buffed out to a nice bright white. The teak gunwales and thwart seats will be varnished. I am going with a light blue. I'm interested in recommendations and maybe some photos of shades of blue and paint brands that you have used on your boats.
I am considering "Classic Whaler Blue," from Wet Edge, but am leaning towards "Blue Ice," from Petit.

I used Interprotect 2000 as a barrier coat, I'm assuming that I can put any the of marine topsides paint on top of it, but if I am mistaken, please advise.

Thanks
