Default paint

I'm making a viv with great stuff and that whole dealy, what type of paint should I use? I need something water resistant and non-toxic to the animals (obviously).

I'm gonna be housing crested geckos, so high humidity. Only water resistant paint I know is marina paint and that's a big no. (i'm assuming, since the smell is so strong)

So what kind of paint have people been using in their vivs?

Also, where do I get that egg crate stuff? Couldn't find it at home depot or lowes.

Ask someone in the lighting section for 4ft Fluorescent lighting panels. they will be in boxes that are hard to see if you don't know where they are. HD employees have no idea what "Egg Crate" is.
