    A base coat of Zinsser BIN Primer wouldnt go a miss on the ply lining.

    I'll try this again tonight :D coat it in epoxy resin, if you want you can mix a bit of the paint you want to use into the epoxy and see if you like it if not paint in pre-kote primer also mixed with the finish colour and then your topcoat.

    Epoxy floor paint might also be worth looking at to coat it with.

    I'd go for the epoxy floor paint option also- very hard wearing and available in neutral colours- off-white, grey and cream. Probably best to spot prime any knots with the Zinser BIN, if nothing else it'll prevent any "ghosting" through the finish coat.

    Give it a couple of coats of white emulsion.

    Knot it,coat of thinned white emulsion to prime the acrylic eggshell for a bit of toughness. No point going mad cost wise as it will probably get knocked about.
