Hello.

In my experience if you don't coat the inside and don't clean it everytime you run it the paint starts to suffer.

I usually coat it with a flat white on an inner coat especially made for that purposel. You can get it at most hobby shops. I take the extra step to use a very high grade automotive wax inside and out. It helps everything all around.

After you're done painting put a coat of rustoleum.
