Default Rusty Roof

A roller would be of no use on a corrugated roof, I am sure your roof is not
flat enough to roll, brushing would be torture, spraying best.

For the coatings and/or paint and primers use the internet, paying close
attention to major paint manufacturers where they detail all their paint
products and their uses. Also check roof coating companies. There should be
something there that you like and can apply.

I have a pole barn that has a galvanized corrugated steel roof. Last
year
the roof started to get some rust in a few spots. After this winter
there

is
a lot of rust showing on the roof.

Is there any roof coating that will either slow down or stop the
rusting?

I
don't want to replace the roof at this time and would like to try and

cover
it up as well as stop or slow the rusting down.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian


Paint it. Any roofing contractor that does metal roof work can spray it
for
you. Ideally it would be sprayed before the rusting started. but they can
either spray over or clean the rust off. I would have it cleaned off and
painted. People also leave it untreated and they will last for years but
look ugly.



So is the paint that a commercial company uses available to me? And does
it have to be sprayed?

Thanks,
Brian
