best coating for fiberglass roof

Thanks! The Tropicool sounds like the solution.

I used Henry Tropicool from Home Depot on our last MH when the fiberglass roof started looking old at 10 years. Only did it once (traded a couple years later) and it seemed a really good solution. After 2 years it still looked like I had just painted it. I would certainly use it again. Obviously fiberglass isn't going to last forever and ours was starting to be bad at causing white streaking down the sides of the MH. The Tropicool stopped that and made the roof look good, too. Has a 'lifetime' warranty but I bet that would not apply to MH use.

X2, but if you keep painting it would probably last a VERY long LONG time.

Would Gel Coating be used back in the 70's? Not sure if that was used on the aluminum parts of the roof and the sides which are aluminum.
