Short answer NO.

There is no paint that will insulate a shipping container regardless of how many layers you paint on. It needs to be properly insulated using foam,rockwool,xtratherm type boards etc etc. It will also need to be ventillated aswel to ensure adequate air flow.

My mother in law had a shipping container and used it as a shop. It was a dublin thing. I remember she could only solve the ventilation problem by a combination of ventilation and a dehumidafier.
