This isn't about welding so I'm posting it here. 
I've been doing some reading about supertherm insulating paint and thinking that it might be the way to go for insulating a shipping container that I bought to keep all my equipment that I don't need on the the truck every day.  I've been heating the thing with a 220 volt electric heater through the winter but it costs a fortune.  Has anyone tried this product or something like it?  Thanks, Tom.

Hello
Yes I used Hy-Tech ceramic addative on my steel sailboat, so far it seems to work good. No condinsation in the inside even on cold foggy days.
I put 2 coats inside and out .  Before I used it I had to keep lightbulbs burnin to keep it dry in winter

From what I heard about that ceramic additive paint it can get you an R-20+ value so that would be the way to go.
