A question to all with metal (05’ Monaco) roof, I believe it time to paint the roof. I like to know what you guys think is the best product to use.

I have a 2004 Monaco that has a fiberglass roof.

I didn't know Monaco put metal roofs on their coaches. What model Monaco is it?

I’m third owner of a 05’ Cayman Monaco 32PBD. See attached photo. 316346[/ATTACH]
There a seam running from front to rear fiberglass cap. Look for same insight for best paint and sealer.

I'd read in these pages about people using Rust-oleum deck paint. A couple of my racing buddies have used it, so I gave it a try.

Adhesion could be better - duct tape can pull it off, but that's because I didn't do a lot of sanding of the gel-coat. I did clean it really well with acetone, but I suspect it needs a bit more bite.

Goes on really smooth with a foam roller. You need at least two coats and when they say thin coats and let it dry they mean it.

Looks nice, and water really beads up on it.
