What should I do if my EPDM roof turns black
Hi, I have a trailer with EPDM rubber roof. I was wondering if I can use eternabond or if I'd have to do something else. I have no idea if that's the EPDM itself or just mold which google seems to hea...

When EPDM roof material starts to turn black it means the top coating is failing and washing off.
You can paint on all kinds of roof coverings that CLAIM to restore the EPDM but in reality very few will actually stick to the black membrane once the white coating is gone.
Maybe RV Armor which uses a glue-like primer but expensive. Replacement is the only real, dependable/durable option. Unless you like peeling coatings that need replacing every couple of years.
Went down that road, thinking it was just mold but the more I cleaned, the blacker the roof got. Then I learned.
