Interior Pettit Paint for Fiberglass sailboat

Hey all just trying to clean up my 1980 34 sabre interior/topside. It appears as though they touched it up as there are a few different colors. I just went through bow to stern and scrubbed it and decided I want to apply a nice new coat of paint through out to make it look nice and neat. Not sure how much I would need, whats the best brand etc.

I am thinking
1 - Sand 80 grit?/Pettit BioBlue Surface prep
2 - Pettit EZ Cabin-coat Interior Paint (2 Coats)
3 - 6980 Rustlok Primer
4 - 3/4 Coats of Pettit EZ Bilge, sanding with 220 between coats?

Just kinda chose Pettit but have no clue really whats best so feel free to lemmie know what you think. Really just hoping for something easy to apply that should last a long time and hopefully not be too expensive (I can get products at cost so that helps)

Thanks!

Re: Interior Pettit Paint for Fiberglass sailboat

When I wanted to paint the interior fiberglass of the hull I went to our large hardware chain and explained what I wanted to do.

He recommended Rustguard epoxy which is a metal paint. He said if I wanted a marine paint I had to go to he marine paint section where I could get identical paint for double the price.
