Galvanized Tin Roof Paint

[HDRider]

What would you recommend as a primer and a paint for a galvanized tin roof?

Use a generic rust stopper and coat it with fibered alum coating

When I have rusty metal I spray this on. A gallon goes a long way. Then on metal roof of barn used aluminum paint.

Several mfgs on the market should run about 75 bucks per 5 gal , application is 1.5 gal per sq (100sq) in 2 coats. Best application is with a brush on a handle. Roller will work but research has shown the aluminum fibers do not lay down as well with roller.

What is the best way to patch small holes (looks like a .22 went thru it) in the tin roof?

I was wondering if that metal tape would work if I put it on before painting.

What's the best way to patch the holes?

Thanks

I've used this on metal water troughs
It can be sanded down after it dries

I would acid wash it with a little vinegar before applying anything. Just to prep it. Let it dry well before covering it with paint afterwards.

50 year silicone caulk. Put enough to be a plug on the top and underneath sort of like a rivet. Then you can paint over or whatever.

Use np1 or use a polyester fabric patch just embed the fabric in the coating over the hole.

Np1 is good stuff +1 on it.

Just about any caulk but silicon. NP1 would be my choice. A butyle type if you can find a neoprene washered screw to put in the hole after you caulk it.

Silicone on metal will eventually leak in a couple years after it gets hard. Expansion and contracting sheet metal will cause it to fail.

Geocel 3300 is also very good and equal to np1

I can't find either product here.

What about this? This is what my supplier recommends.

that is ok product. not the construction grade that was recommended but most roofers use that in or geocel 2300. if you have a Sherwin Williams nearby they own Geocel now so they will have the 3300 construction grade

I called my SW store. No luck, and I'll try to be nice.

I am going to Amazon it.

This is the right stuff?
