You certainly can. Personally I like a nice white paint. Just don't use anything with mold inhibitors. I think I used a good latex that I had laying around on the last one I did.

If you really want to make things slick, line everything with aquatile.

paint


I bought a thin white plastic material at home depot which came in 4' by 8' sheets. I then cut each piece to fit w/ metal cutting snips, and the used liquid nails to fasten it. Then I sealed any corners w/ silicone. I found it in the plywood section in lumber
