=========================================================================
I used an enameling type of paint available at hardware stores sold
for use on sinks & toilets on my pony bottle which drys at room temperature.
It sets up with a firm surface which seemed to take normal banging around
on dive trips well. I've taken it in for hydro and fills with never any
comment from anyone.
