Welcome to the forum Graham. Hopefully someone will have the info you are looking for shortly, are they the ones that sell It's So Cool? I seem to remember they were based up that way some where. It's a while ago I bought my last lot but they were quick to reply then so hopefully they are still around, the product worked brilliantly.

along the same lines as OP
George has been cleaning the bus roof and said he will have to redo the insulation paint stuff. He used Astec paints EC100 dirt guard last time. What have others used ?

Is it the insulation paint that needs a recoat or the sealer that goes on top to keep the dirt out? Got caught out with the clear sealer coat myself, had heaps of it so decided to put multiple coats on, even though the paperwork said it wasn't advisable ..... well, I read the directions after the problems appeared, but that's beside the point :lol: It seems if the clear layer is too thick, it separates from the insulation layer and starts to peal off or flake. A single touch up coat seems to have solved the problem, but getting the insulation coat clean enough to not look patchy wasn't the easiest task .... lots of truck wash and rinsing with clear water until it came up reasonably clean, then cover it over with cotton sheets tolet the water out but not let the dirt back in ... or the whole process needs to be repeated .... some seem to take longer to learn than others :roll:

Dot, I did the Winny roof about 6 months ago. Used a product called Globalcote, available from all Taubmans dealers. It is a two part process. They can supply the primer in two or six litres cans. The topcoat only comes in 15 litre cans i think.
May not be exactly what you are after, but i found it to be successful on the EPDM rubber roof that a lot of m/homes have. The topcoat is supposed to have the little glass micro-spheres already in it.

Thanks Terry & David have found the leftover can of the ec100 enough to re coat the roof, the ec100 is still sound but a bit dull after 11 years.

Wow what a grubby roof. Top right corner is after a good clean and repainted.
Top Left is just washed.
Rang the company and they said can repaint but the area MUST be clean and dry and not under trees until completely dry.
