    a nice gloss pure white is the way to go. when mine was new i gave it a coat of white epoxy primer then 2 coats of ss urethane.

    I used Imron white SS. Nice and bright. When its brand new it can be a bit too shiney but booth coating and/or overspray will fix that in no time.

    I saw a really impressive PVA booth coating at SEMA. I’m sure that’s the direction I’d go if I ever get a booth. Glossy walls are easier to clean, coating knocks the sheen down to semi-gloss, overspray dulls it down to flat.

    I’m not sure if you guys can buy starchem products in the USA, but if you can try to get some tacky booth coating. As said above two nice coats of gloss white followed by a bake, then liberally spray the tacky coat onto the walls. It’s awesome for dust control as it becomes dry but sticky as your booth gets warmer and traps the overspray. A pressure washer will take it off in no time once it starts getting dirty, or a red Scotchbrite and soapy water for the stubborn patches. Once washed your booth will be lovely and white again 🙂
