It seems like you're not using the right kind of paint. I did a similar rubbermaid grow and used white spray paint for the inside, and I never experience any kind of chipping. You need spray paint that's specific for plastics. However, if you're going to invest in mylar, that would be the best choice by far.

Another thought I was having about your setup is that maybe you should combine two rubermaids to make the container larger and give the plants some room to grow. Perhaps use the smaller one you have currently to veg the plants and then put them into the bigger container to flower.
420_24/7 Reviewed by 420_24/7 on . Rubbermaid Grow Log I made a grow box out of a Rubbermaid tub i had. I have Five 26 watt Cfls and a homemade rig for them. I went to wal-mart and got a timer, Miracle-Grow Potting mix, Four 8" clay pots, 22 peatmoss Jiffy-Pots, and 2 cans of white paint. This is just a little experiment. I spray painted the inside of the tub white and installed the light rig in the cover. i have an old bathroom vent that installed in the bottom. The lights are going to be on a timer im not sure if i am going to do 18 or 16 Rating: 5
