	Hi Steve, Unfortunately I am afraid to say, but we do not have any coatings which would be suitable to use on your hot tub. Our topside finishes are not intended to be immersed for extended periods and if done, they will most likely end up bubbling, blistering and peeling off the surface which would most likely make a fairly large mess. As for our bottom paints although intended to be immersed, these products contains ingredients which are designed to release out of the coating and to prevent the adhesion of marine growth on the surface itself. We recommend to not come in direct contact with these ingredients in such a tight/closed in environment. My best recommendation would be to contact a local hot tub supplier/manufacturer to see if they have any recommendations. I apologize for any inconvenience and hope this helps!
