    I am building a large (>2000 sq. ft.) rain collection roof. Has there been any studies that you know of that look at the differences in runoff contamination between SMP vs PVDF? I would assume if the coatings are so long lasting that very little transfer would happen into the water running over the roof.

    Hi, can both PVDF and SMP be painted over in the future? What type of primer and finish coats would be appropriate for such an application? Change of color is the motivation for the recoat. Any special cleaning or prep steps needed?

      A little gasoline and diesel on a cotton rag(boxer briefs or flannel shirt) rubs right out. Then hit with a pressure washer with dawn dish soap air dry and you eat off next day. That's how we did it back in shipyards in Iceland back in the 60s

    We have a steel roof in the northeast where we get lots of snow and ice. Which paint is recommended for this climate? It has been wire brushed where needed, and primed and painted. The last paint used flaked off. The roof has been on the house for 40 years, first time having a flaking issue.

      Hello, Carlos! A PVDF paint system will be longer lasting than an SMP paint system, but PVDF is also the more expensive option. Thanks for the comment! -Thad

      Been to a dozen paint stores, have gotten a dozen totally different answers, on which paint correct for metal roof project.
      They have estimated between 1-30 gallons needed for 5000 Sq ft 🤓
