Roof Paint/Coating?
Hello,
Does anyone know the difference between roof paint and coating? Many years ago i used something that was made of tar, fiberglass and plus something that made it dry shiny silver. I think the "fiberglass" was of a fiber nature. It was applied with a brush, but i donot remember what kind of brush. Does anyone know if such still exists? It was expensive. I had it painted on a slightly, showing-signs-of -usting roof. Thank you |

I believe they label it as 'Mobile Home Roof Coating' and it definitely comes in silver. HTH Joe |

It sealed the roof and the light color refracted plenty Sun and heat back away from the metal roof. Many roof coatings were light color; at least over tar. -- Oren Hofstadter's Law - It [a task] always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law. |
