I've used a water based, exterior grade latex paint for every enclosure I've built. 2 base coats, then a dark green, then light green with a textured roller. I let it dry well between coats and have never had a problem. I don't paint the floor. I use vinyl flooring and secure it to the floor with floor adhesive. I also use 100% silicone for EVERY seam all the way to the top. You can't paint it so use it last. It dries clear and is very durable. I let everything off-gas for about 2 weeks "with heat". It seems you can let it off gas all you want at room temp but once the heat panel goes in it off gasses more.
