Comments: How does this product perform with large temperature differences ( -20 degrees in early morning to 100 degrees surface temperature or more by the afternoon). Also, ice and snow build-up with freezing and thawing potential, and snow migration down a pitched metal roof?
Response:The temperature shifts and extremes are not a problem. What can become a problem, is the result of impact when the roof is that cold. Icicles that fall from higher roofs or from trees can damage a finish where it hits. I know of a story where a customer complained about silver dollar sized paint chips in their roof paint after winter. The technician who inspected the roof found spent bullets in the gutter, left over from a New Years Eve celebration. Go figure.
The normal finish of the roof is flat so you could apply an optional clearcoat finish to help with down slope migration. We will be happy to send you the brochures you need to paint your metal roof. The information that you need will be found in them. Most of our products ship from our Bristol PA warehouse at $29.50 per gallon in a 5 gallon pail. You pay no tax in comments: How does this product perform with large temperature differences ( -20 degrees in early morning to 100 degrees surface temperature or more by the afternoon).

As far as my knowledge is concerned, I think EPDM Coatings is the best choice in extreme temperatures. So we may choose liquid roof or true epdm for leaks repairing.
