As far as the latex paint. While some swear it works, I feel it will peel quickly in humid enviornments.

Marine paints do not contain lead...no paint does.

Whoever posted about marine paints,you are probably thinking of bottom paint, which used to contain copper.

You can try hobby shops for epoxy paints, I buy it from a company called Barlows. They sell fishing lure making stuff.

Plain epoxy will work fine. Try West Marine. It cannot however be put over latex paint. It will peel it. Actually anything other than latex paint over it will peel it.

I would let your cage sit for a few weeks to let the paint off gas, and to let the latex paint cure completely.

Also...seal all seams with SILICONE! Not a Latex caulk!

Any more questions...post them on the Cage forum. Lot's of good people there.

Or drop me an email.
