[A/S] Re: Rustoleum_Roof Painting



Last year I posted a query to obtain advice on painting the 
Airstream roof white, but there were no replies. Since then I have 
done some research, and apart from the aircraft and marine painting 
systems already discussed, (and a Turkish product called Kimetsan 
D45 or D65), there is a product called Mobile Coat, specifically for 
painting aluminium roofs of RVs to decrease internal temperatures 
and prevent water leaks. It is white, and contains the pre-priming 
agents for bare aluminium. The product, Mobile Coat, is made by Snow 
Roof Systems, and that company states that it can be obtained via 
Home Depot, True-Value or Ace Hardware. The web link is 
http://www.kstcoatings.com/snowroof/images/allapps.pdf
The information desk number is out of date, and should be 1 888 321 
5665. One gallon covers 100 sq. ft per coat, and 2 or 3 coats are 
required. I guess 2 gallons would do the roof area that is out of 
sight on my Excella 25. My local Home Depot denies all knowledge of 
this product, so I do not yet have a price. Has anyone any 
experience with this product? Nick.
