After many years I need to paint the roof of my coach. Solid fiberglass, not laminated. I want to do this before I add a couple of solar panels. Needs to be durable and reflective.

Suggestions?

Tropicool by Henry. Snow White, silicone, very durable. While expensive at about $400 for a 4.5 gallon bucket, it will last years.

I second Henry’s also. Great product.
Put down your Solar Panel mounts first, then coat the roof. It will create another level of waterproofing.

Just a thought.

Thank you for the recommendation. I will use that product, but I will paint first as I am going to use flexible panels that will be glued down. Yes, they are less efficient but will serve my needs without making any roof penetrations.
