High Top Roof Paint?

Post by Dippy »

Hi,
I'm fixing up the exterior and want to start with the roof, which has minor leak issues.. It's a fibreglass high-top roof and I'm wondering is there a specialist product on the market for painting them with, which will give better waterproofing protection than standard auto paint? Having it look super smooth and flat like a bodywork paint job is not so important to me as having it look merely tidy but 100% watertight, and I'm perfectly happy to paint it myself with a brush, rather than have a professional spray it for me. I looked on the wiki, but no mention there of roof painting. Any suggetions? :?:

Rustoleum with a roller and you'll get a very good Finnish even if you don't flat it and polish it when dry.

Cheers Dazco. I thought there might be some special kind of 'rubberized' paint out there, like I saw some yanks on YouTube painting the roof of their gineormous RV with.. but people seem to swear by this stuff, so I'll go with it. If roof works out ok I might do the whole van with it, being piston broke n'all.. :lol:
