Oh well, as for your paint problem, do you not want it to be white? I find the white walls of my enclosure from the drylok to be just fine, when dirt gets all on it I just spray it down with a big mister I bought before I had my automatic humidifier set up. The water cleans all the dirt right off and leaves it white and shiny again. Plus if its all buried by dirt then why worry about the color? I'm sure you have your reasons though, but straight up drylok works really well. I don't know if they have made any drylok with actual color though. Might want to look into that. Honestly the only thing I can think of that would 100% work is to repaint the affected areas with the same paint, and then just go over it with some polyurethane. BUT don't take my word for it until a more experienced member on here agrees it will work, I do not want to be responsible for any harm coming to your tegu. That is just the only thing I can think of though as polyurethane is clear, has harmful vapors but those will go away, and it will not come off for just about anything. My dad put this bar top clear coat on our kitchen table, and let me tell you that stuff is tough. I can stab it with a fork and nothing will happen. Only problem is it is pretty expensive. If you're interested and someone else agrees with me ill find out what exactly he used and post it.
Anyways that's just my two cents. I'm super jealous though that Jazz is awake right now and Yoshi has been hibernating since late September. He is the deepest hibernator and has been since day one. It's helpful since I have school and all, and allows me to focus my attention elsewhere...but I just miss the little guy lol.
