my 30 yr. old g.i. roofing are showing some signs of rusts again. it has boysen roofguard on it for some 7 years now. i was advised lately to use rubberized paint on it so it will extend my roof's life for some 5 more years. i tried looking at some leading diy shops but most of the rubberized or elastomeric paints in the market are for concrete surfaces only. my question is where can i buy a rubberized paint for my roof? thanks.
Re: roof paint querry
zero, last time I checked Shell was selling rubberized roof paints for galvanized iron roofs. You might want to try MC Depot at Ortigas or Wilcon Builders along EDSA. They might be selling roof coating products from Truco, Inc. You might also want to check-out the website of Pioneer Chemicals if they manufacture rubberized roof coatings for use on galvanized roofs.
Good luck.
Re: roof paint querry
The house of my parents was built in 1962. The GI roof has always been painted with portland cement paint every 5 years or so. So far the paint has remained leak free.
I've seen Shell's weatherkote as being advertised for GI roofs. Just check if it can be painted on top of the Boysen roofguard.
Re: roof paint querry
zero, AFAIK pwede rin sa G.I. roof yun elastromeric paint na pag concrete, kc for welcoat brand na RAIN or SHINE pwedeng pwede
Re: roof paint querry
I just got my roof painted couple of weeks back with Aquaproof. They also have a wide range of color accents both for concrete and roofing needs.
Re: roof paint querry
ang ganda naman ng mga advice ninyo.... sabagay malapit na akong magpintura ukit ng roof ko
Re: roof paint querry
alwaysontop, did you still apply primer to the roof before applying the aquaproof?
How much per gallon? and where did you buy it?
Thank you.
Re: roof paint querry
The normal painting cycle for roof should be at least every 3 years, even if you used the ordinary brands of paint it will last. Our house is 50 years old and the roof is still intact, as a painting contractor i follow this cycle to make it last as long as it could hold, up to now there is no rust on it.
Re: roof paint querry
hmm... I'll be "sponsoring" our "ancestral house", i.e. my parents' house's roof repairs come my days off, the last time the sheets were replaced were just 11 years ago. so reading from this previous posts, a repaint cycle would really help in prolonging the roof, huh?
what about those "prepainted" sheets? apparently I don't need to have them painted anymore right? I mean atleast for the first couple of years that is... or should I still have them painted upon installation? (this is under the assumption that an "aftermarket" painting would last longer)
Safety first - always wear face/eye/ear/hand protection as a minimum.

b2bomber,
Pre painted roof are good for the few years, after which you should have them maintained by painting it say once every 3-5 years

Re: roof paint querry
update sa roofing ko:
i bought 11 pcs. of g.i. corrugated roof (guage 26@P300 ea.) last saturday to replace some of the badly damaged by rusts/corrosion. P540 daw ang guage 24, mas makapal ito pero di na kaya ng budget ko. :'(
kailangan daw pahiran ng vinegar ang bagong roofing kung balak ko agad papintahan ang roof ko. para daw patayin ang pagka-galvanized nito sabi ng karpentero?? tama ba yun?? ???
medyo nagdadalawang isip pa ako sa boysen roofguard at rain or shine elastomeric paint.
P1,800+ ang 1 pail of boysen against sa P1,600+ rain or shine.
ipon ulet ako para dito.
Re: roof paint querry
Try mo flexseal elastomeric paint which has 60 colors available. Kung gusto mo flat un finish ng roofing mo then use rain or shine kasi flat yan at parang ng latex paint ka lang sa roofing mo. I have used flexseal since the early 90's and find it is the best elastomeric paint in the market today.
Pwede mo din gamitin un flexroof na gloss elastomeric paint para sa roofing mo, gawa din ng flexseal. Btw, flexseal has been the elastomeric paint choice since the 80's - original and real waterproofing talaga. Mga ibang bagong elastomeric paint kasi in the market kaya mura ay latex paint lang at ni label lang na elastomeric paint. Actually, meron din talagang rubberized paint para sa roof - rubbercoat but i dont know pag meron pa nun, parang napalitan na.
Try mo ask sa mga hardware yun flexseal and youll see the praises dyan sa product na yan. Pag binibigyan ka ng mas murang elastomeric, isa lang ibig sabihin nun kasi mas malaki ang kita nila dun - hehe.
Re: roof paint querry
thanks sir bobby.
tingin din ako nyang flexseal. hindi pa naman ako bumibili ng paint dahil rainy season pa.
kung bibili kaya ako today ng paint, pwede kaya stock ko lang ito sa bahay hanggang summer? baka kasi mag-taas ang price ng paint kapag summertime na? ???
Re: roof paint querry
Ang mga paints ay may shelf life ng at least one year. Pag tingin mo tataas pintura by next year then go buy it but my advise is to buy it fresh when you need it.
