Paint metal roof with insulating paint-How To

GETTING STARTED
All coatings must be stirred manually or mechanically before being used (except for ELASTO PATCH). Do not let products freeze. Do not use any of these products at temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Apply all products to clean and dry surfaces only. Do not apply products when they will be subjected to rain or heavy dew before they have had enough time to dry (Check Product Data Sheets). Do not thin any products unless specifically mentioned within this application specification manual.

STEP#:1 VISUAL INSPECTION and REPLACEMENT of DAMAGED BUILDING MATERIALS
The substrate to be coated must be in SOUND condition. Physically inspect the surface area for missing or damaged building materials. Replace and/or repair all damaged areas back to sound and solid condition.
Check for loose or missing fasteners (screws) and tighten or replace them.
Inspect for any existing leaks and be sure to repair leaks prior to the application of coating.
Make sure roof is adequately vented. Check with a roofing contractor if necessary.

STEP#:2 PRESSURE CLEANING High Pressure Blast entire roof surface with at least 1500 P.S.I. of pressure using a water and chlorine solution (approximately 1 quart chlorine to 5 gallons of water). Thoroughly remove all dirt, oil, grease, residues, mold, mildew, algae and any other surface contaminants. Severe mildew requires a stronger concentration of chlorine. When roof is completely cleaned, rinse with water only. Let roof surface dry at least 12 hours before continuing. All HY-TECH Coatings have excellent mildew resistance, but WILL NOT kill mildew already on the surface.
STEP#:3 RUST TREATMENT Apply METAL-PRIME #18, (now available in white) or our new RUST REFORM #17 using brush, roller, or airless sprayer. Spot Prime all rusted areas and let dry at least 8 hours before applying the second coat of primer to the effected area(s). Consideration should be given to use two complete coats of metal primer to reduce the possibility of future rust. Apply the primer according to label instructions covering the entire rusted surface. Let final application of primer dry at least 8 hours before continuing.
STEP#:4 CAULKING SCREWS Patch and Caulk all screws or fastener heads, cracks, crevices, fractures, holes, valleys, vents, voids, etc., with ELASTO PATCH. Use a trowel or stiff brush to apply. Multiple coats are better than one thick coat if possible. The thicker ELASTO PATCH is applied the longer it will take to dry. Wait at least 4 hours before applying a second coat of ELASTO PATCH and let final application dry at least 24 hours before continuing to next step. ELASTO PATCH dries from top to bottom, so be careful when working around a caulked area since it will be skin dry. There is no problem coating over ELASTO PATCH even if it is not completely dry, since it is a high solids material. NOTE: ELASTO PATCH allows minimal shrinkage, but the thicker it is applied the more it will shrink. Check ELASTO PATCH after 24 hours to check on shrinkage.
STEP#: 5 TAPING SEAMS Tape all visible seams, large cracks and fractures prone to water intrusion on roof surface. Apply a liberal coat of BOND IT primer directly to the affected area using brush, roller or airless spray and lay the PERMATAPE directly into the WET BOND IT.Press firmly in place and smoothout wrinkles and bubbles.
Tape must be put down before BOND IT has had a chance to start drying (approximately 15 minutes).
After all areas are taped let dry for 1 to 2 hours. Apply a second light coat of BOND IT over the top of the tape. Let the taping procedure dry for at least 2 hours before continuing. NEXT:>>>
