Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Joe,
I am looking for something to coat my TT's roof. It is black rubber. I currently use it as a workshop and it is very hot in the FL sun.

I found someone's evaluation of bus-kote on the skoolie.net forum. Well, it was not the complete bus-kote product, but he did add the ceramic beads to a similar paint. He had 5 test pieces in his experiment. It might be worth a read. His explanation starts on post #24 of the thread.

Insulating paint beads: Feedback from REAL people please - Page 3 - School Bus Conversion Resources

Based on that, I might use Henry Solar-Flex White Roof Coating available at homedepot. The smooth white finish should reflect the sunlight quite well.

Sorry to add more "confusion" to the mix.

Thanks Charles! Now I'm REALLY confused!


No, seriously, that was interesting reading!
