Hi

Our large extension has an asphalt flat roof. Presently, it has some splits
and blisters so I have hired a contractor to rework the asphalt. His
recommendation is that I should then paint the roof with two coats of solar
reflective paint.

Can anyone please suggest the best solar reflective paint for this purpose
(and where to buy it) ?

Hi,

Also known as aluminium paint, not primer though which is something
different.

Eg:

Offline a local decorators merchant should have it

Try and get something that has a bit of elasticity or it could flake
off just where you need it the most. Maybe an acrylic would be better:
