[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

The information desk number is out of date, and should be 1 888 321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.
