Painting bilge?

[warthog5]

Is it recommended, to help seal against water or just cosmetic?

Both.

Painted with shurwinn William's Tile Clad HS. A true epoxy paint designed to paint the inside of water tower's.
When we all redo these boat's attention to detail's make's a so so job, step up a few notch's. Painting the bildge and having the wire run's neatly laid is part of it.

I don't like Gray bildges. They look dark and dingy.
