Roof coatings

[Bryan Beamon]

Adam my experience in painting over dicor with the rustoleum marine deck paint is that it cracks profusely after a short while. Suggest first removing the old dicor then paint and lastly replace the dicor. Fyi

[Bill Lampkin]

Suggest remove dicor, clean under dicor. Mask area where dicor has been removed. Treat the rest of the roof (paint). Once dry, remove mask, dicor. Have a beer, you've earned it!  If the paint ever peels, you still have dicor bonded to clean fiberglass.

This past winter I saw a coach whose owner had bed liner applied to his entire roof, for ruggednedness, uv resistance, and non skid tracksion when working up there. Anyone experienced with that?

There have been several Beaver owners who have had a white bed liner type coating applied to their roof with good success, but due to the extra labor and high expense, I only recommend this coating if you have a problem with a porous roof or one with slight cracking from hail damage. The Rustoleum Top Side paint will give you the slip resistance, and UV protection that you want at a much lower price point. After all, it is designed for painting the deck surface on fiberglass boats, and where else is slip resistance and UV protection more needed.

Fred, what type of multi-tool are you speaking of?
