Fiberglass roof coating

Looking to recoat my fiberglass roof. Like to get som ideas on what is the
most reasonable and best way to go.
Thanks scooter.
  • I re-coated my roof with the Dicor Fiberglass coating just to give it a better appearance. No one really sees it but me, but I followed the directions and it looks great.......doesn't stain from the leaves and no more chalking down sides......
  • I have read a lot about Bus Kote. Might want to check that out.

    I agree with the concensus....unless you have some roof damage that needs repaired, keeping a fiberglass roof clean followed by a periodic application of wax, polish, 303 protectant, etc. is usually sufficient.

    I did see a post where one fellow used a roller to coat his fiberglass roof with urethane clear coat. It look really nice and using a roller left some texture to it so it would not be so slippery when walking on the roof.
  • Fiberglass gel coat will oxidize in the Florida sun over time. I used TSP to wash off the oxidization, completely dried the surface and applied Petit one part epoxy, gloss white. It totally renewed the roof. Has maintained that gloss for 3 years now. 2 quarts to do a 36 foot roof
  • If you are trying to deal with oxidation, once cleaned off, ZEP floor polish works well for a protectorant. Typically cleaning off the old oxidation leaves a porous surface that will collect dirt quickly. The floor polish fill in the pores and seal it, so it is much easier to clean. 2 coats will seal it pretty well, 4 coats makes it shine if you need that.
