I do understand that I have to wash the roof first and I've actually done it always
once a year so it's in fairly clean shape now.


Your tool of choice for this large a job will be an airless sprayer.
Consider enlisting a helper and renting some scaffolding as the gear
will be heavy and bulky. Graco makes some well respected sprayers, and
there are others as well. Mind your outside temperatures and use a
three day weekend if possible. Watch the weather channel to make sure
your wind drift doesn't repaint the neighbor's Lamborghini. Other tgha
that, read the directions and ask questions and it will go just fine.
