Anyone have any experience with insulating paint? Thinking about doing a couple of coats on my interior, which is just bare fiberglass for the most part.
Thermal Paint For Interior, Yes or No?

Seems like a exterior paint from what I read, and is made to reflect sun rays. So I think using it on the interior is pointless. My vote is no.
I don't think the dominant heat loss mechanism for your boat is radiation. If you wan to experiment for cheap just put a bunch of "space blankets" on your hull in lieu of paint and see how that works.
Take two shoe boxes... paint the inside of one... put a thermometer in each and set them in the sun... see what happens
I wouldn't use it on the interior. For years now on customer boats and on my own, I've use an ACRYLIC latex, over a good primer, I like Zinser 1 2 3 as a primer. No odors, water clean up and you can sleep aboard the same day you paint
