I wish I could remember how the Sherwin Williams Rep steered us back in 2012 (I think it was) but there were certain products that they had which he highly recommended although none of them were in any way associated for underwater application. I'm going to have to search through archives to see if I can pick up any info.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1553654393635_30725" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1553654393635_30725" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1553654393635_32663">Absent that, epoxy based paint is used by most that I am aware of.
