Comments: I am interested in repainting a new 13\' x 29\' VicWest (Pacific Turquoise) barn shed roof. I would like to achieve a matte gray similar to the color and tone that tin flashing takes on when weathered. Would your product be appropriate, considering the roof is so new? Please advise.
Response: You didn't say how old the roof is. Also what type of factory finish roof coating does it have on it. As a rule, our Tinners Gray would be the color I suggest for you. We can send a chip and brochures on the product. Jim Guy
Comments: The roof is new-installed 3 months ago. It is made by Vic West, and I'm not sure what the actual paint/coating is made of-it just looks like painted metal, in this case a bright patina-blue/green color. If that roof would accept paint, then I'd like to get a sample of your Tinner's Gray. I'll contact Vic West directly and inquire as to whether it can be painted and what should be used. Then I will call you to arrange for a brochure and chip.
Thanks for your reply
Response: All of that is good. We have already sent brochures and a chip.You may find that the chip looks dark, but when it is on the roof with the sun shining on it, it will look lighter. It will also lighten with time. Jim Guy
Comments: Thanks, Jim. I'll be in touch. Do you offer paint samples for sale, i.e. for touch-up, that I might use to create my own test sample? I have a chip of the Pacific tourquoise / Vic West metal roof I saved from installation.
Response: We can sell you a gallon of Showerproof "WB" but not in your "custom color". Special colors require a 25 gallon minimum, which is what a 2500 sq ft roof would require. We could however sell you a gallon of the
Tinners Gray. Let us know how we can help. We will be closed for
the Christmas week but I'm sure that you have some time in RI where you
will not want to paint. Jim
Comments: Definitely not painting season, Jim. Let me see what the chip/ brochure looks like. Then I may spring for the gallon. What is the
cost of the gallon?
Response: $39.00 delivered, and no tax.
I'll let you know on the paint once I see the info. Thanks for your assistance.
