[A/S] Roof paint.

What a great source of help you all are! We're off home now to 
England, and will be back in the fall to carry on living in, and 
working on, our Excella. I've just finished stripping and re-coating 
the end caps while in the middle of a field (I can give details if 
anyone wants), and I'm considering the re-finishing required on the 
top roof panels which are invisible from ground level. I note that 
the new models are painted white, and this seems an attractive idea 
in terms of longevity of the finish and heat reflection. I've seen a 
product called Plastcote White Alkyd Fibred Roof Coating, Made by 
Elixir, at $25.95 a gallon to cover 50 square feet. It is 
specifically made for RV roofs. I've also seen (Wal-Mart) a McCloskey 
Multi-Use 100% Acrylic Latex paint in white for use on Aluminum 
siding at $16.97 a gallon for 400 square feet.I want to avoid 
anything which will chalk, and then run white streaks over the side 
of the trailer. I also want something which will last a long time, as 
access to the roof is not easy. Perhaps a two-part paint would be 
better suited? Perhaps an aluminum paint would be a smart solution? 
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Many 
thanks, from Nick.
