Before You Start

Although it may seem as simple as picking
up a roller and splashing some paint on the roof, there are a lot of
considerations to be made before you begin.

1. The most important thing to do before you start is make sure the surface is clean. Use a high-pressure hose with a minimum 3000psi and clear away any flaking, blistered or loose paint from previous coats.
2. Rust affected areas will need to be treated with Globalcote Rust Converter. Remove any loose rust and scale with a wire brush or mechanical abrasion.

Product You Will Need

To ensure you have the best finish for
your metal roof, you will need to the following Globalcote products;

- Globalcote Rust Converter – if you have any rust affected areas.
- Primecoat Sealer Primer – to ensure maximum adhesion for your paint.
- Globalcote Elastacote or Infracote Membrane– for 1^st and 2^nd coats of paint.

Painting a Metal Roof

Once you have prepped and cleaned your roof, you can begin the painting process. Just like any flawless makeup application, it’s important to prime the area first. This will ensure that membrane will have maximum adhesion to the primer and your new colour stay fresh and last longer. We suggest Primecote Sealer Primer for the best results.

To ensure maximum adhesion the entire roof area needs to be thoroughly coated with Primecote Standard at a spread rate of 10m² per litre.

Metal roof surfaces with
rusted areas that have been converted using Globalcote Rust Converter, must be
primed using Primecote Metal at a spread rate of 6m² per litre. Two (2) coats
of Primecote Metal is required over the rust converted areas.[G-R6] Apply the first coat
of Globalcote Elastacote or Infracote Membrane and spread at a rate of 5m² per
litre. After this has dried, apply a second coat the same as the first and then
ta-da, your brand-new roof is looking better than before!
