A paint specified for spas and hot tubs should only be used as chemicals, heat and waterproof properties must be adhered to.

No fumes and are non toxic when dry.
Actually, I would be very surprised if it is REALLY ABS. -every hot tub I've ever seen was fiberglass ( and has very different characteristics to paint. )
However, if you sure - First de-grease it aggressively, then paint edges with a 2 inch sash brush and roll the rest with a 3 " roller.
If the paint dries it will, but if it is NOT dry you can remove it with hot water
Most acrylic paint will peel off like plastic once it is dry, hot water helps to loosen the bond, along with careful scraping the paint should come off. Next time spread newspaper on your work surface.
The finish achieved with paint can be affected by: * Temperature as it is painted and dries - too cold and it may go "chalky" or not dry properly, too hot and the thickness of the paint may be affected, or brush marks may be more obvious. * Surface preparation - a variable surface will give a variable finish. Check for a clean, dry and even surface free of loose material like dust or flakes. * Paint age - Has the paint been on the shelf a long time, or got to hot or cold at some point? * Paint mixing - Was the paint well stirred and mixed without bubbles? * Is it the correct type of paint for the material being painted? * Was the brush or roller clean?

NO! I work for a swimming pool remodeling company ( I don't actually do the work ) I have researched Acrylic as well as other types of decking so that I could honestly answer questions such as yours. I have read information on line and have asked questions from our crews ( to the point of being annoying, sorry guys! )The way the paint is coming up it sounds like the deck was not prepared correctly for the Acrylic coat. It may not have been cleaned correctly or they may have applied it to existing surface material. In addition to that is the paint that is on your deck a quality Acrylic paint? Acrylic does get hot it is simply absorbing the suns heat. Kooldeck may be what you where thinking of when you thought the deck would stay cool. Acrylic decking looks very similar to Kooldeck, but it is much more easier to maintain and is much more resistant to chipping, cracking, and staining. Its also a bit more expensive and takes longer to construct. While Kooldeck is formed the same day that the concrete is poured (it needs to bond to the wet concrete), Acrylic can be applied to a dry deck making it an affordable choice for many homeowners on a budget. That is why you have to question the Acrylic you have, it is supposed to be very durable.

Do paint a Hot Wheels correctly, you would have to take it apart, prep it and then paint it.
