The Dicor Fiberglass RV Roof Coating protects and beautifies fiberglass and previously coated RV roofs. Fiberglass RV Roof Coating is formulated with 100% Acrylic Fiberglass resins to form a flexible coating that will expand and contract with the roof movement. Dicor Fiberglass RV Coating is brilliant white to provide a superior reflectivity thereby lowering interior temperatures. Not recommended for EPDM RUBBER OR TPO ROOFING.

I would say NO, as the surface is sealed and this would most likely make it crack and ruin it. Try a water based clear gloss that has a flexable surface finish. Testor makes this also as well as Pactra and Humbrul from your local hobby shop.Ray

Yes, I just used this to coat my rv roof which was only 1 inch thick: plywood, covered in foam, covered in a thin sheet of aluminum, and then painted with oil-based paint. I used a TSP substitute (pre-painting) cleaner to scrub the roof. It's curing just fine in the sun now!! I spread mine with a small squeegee and that worked for me but it's a small roof (~8 x 20 ft).

While i have not installed these on a fiberglass roof, it would be no different than on a rubber roof. The inner part of the vent slides down over the vent tube that comes thru the roof of your RV. The 3 screws that come with it fasten the conection together. The cone that seals out the elements simply sits in the roof and can be sealed with most quality RV sealants. After the application is complete and seal is cured, i like to finish the install with Flex Seal spray sealant you see on TV. There is nothing with the install that needs to be screwed into the roof. Enjoy the seasons and fish well.

I used this on a metal RV roof and had such undesirable results I will NEVER puchase it or any other product like again! I Have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find one that will do what it claims "Snow Coat" came the closest. If you read the lable on the Kool Coat can.. It is nothing more than an outdoor Latex paint.What I finaly did find that not only works well (And I would asume it does for fiberglass as well) is AMES "IRON COAT" Mobile home and RV roof coating. It is "Elasomeric" and bends with out cracking and should do well on fiberglass even coated with another product. The Bus I coated it with had some other kind of paint on it I did not remove before coating...

I agree with Scott C. and Kevin H. (previous responses). Be careful about the paint. And I got this because the finish on my original cracked and the paint was coming off. So I got the replacement. A few months later, merging onto a highway, the emblem came flying off. It didn't do any damage when it hit my windshield, and I was able to retrieve it. But I put the old one back on (I filled in the areas of missing paint with a sharpies, for the time being), and I've been driving around with that while I decide what to do. I really don't want to glue the new one back on. And the old one is hanging in there just fine. So, was it that the new emblem was inferior? I have to wonder. I agree with Scott C. and Kevin H.

Yes it is, Bry but i'm going to use it on a stock i will design and build. I suggest sanding the paint from all prods, and checking for cracks and air chambers near the glass reinforced plastic (fiberglass). A breaking prod could do permanent damage. I have found imperfections under paint. V these out for more glueing surface area. I recommend West System G-flex epoxy only, for such extreme requirements.

I painted (rolled) over the roof, flashing, and lap sealant only. I didn't paint over the vents. I actually installed MaxxAir vents over the original vents.

I wish I knew. That's the problem the bottle is so dinky and it's not even full. My advice is, there are a couple of YouTube videos that show how to apply it. It gives some idea how far it goes. One video does a whole vehicle, but the plastic is very smooth and not too faded. Good luck.

Seems to be working for me. I just washed my camper roof and painted this stuff on with a roller. The RV stores seem to have all their prices too high if you ask me.

Hi. The material is not course enough for the paint to bite into and will eventually start flaking off. Hope this helps.

I'm in LA so I can't really answer. I can say that we've been driving forklifts over patches of it for almost 6 months and it is showing no signs of cracking. We're assuming that the material has some measure of elasticity attributing to this.

same drop I had. Yes it seeped between a little, always good to tarp below. Response to my experience, maybe it was the Altitude in Denver region, or higher UV factor that made mine thick as mud? Husband and I always carefully clean and thoroughly dry surfaces. Not of that affected it. It was early to late May when we applied it. The product was just as described, a lot of SAND in very very thick paint. We sold the house (it was written into the contract that we planned to use that specific product. Otherwise, we would have scraped and started completely over. It was THAT BAD!)

I have not had any problems with fading or cracking while using it outside. It does not stay flexible when it is cold outside; below freezing though.

We used it on pontoon boat seats in May, and it still looks super great!! It's soft and pliable like the original vinyl, and so far, no cracks, or anything bad. Bought 2 more cans, to finish the seats!!! Our friends thought that we bought new vinyl and were all amazed that we just painted them. I will have to wait till next summer, to see how it looks after a long winter in storage.

No. This product is not like glue, it becomes the roof on your RV... Therefore roof have has to be free of any other coatings especially tar. I did it about two years ago and still going strong. Go to the web site where you can read and see videos with instructions, it is very helpful... at least it was for me. http://www.epdmcoatings.com/

I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered well, only to discover in the bright sunlight I needed to have sprayed it on a little thickerOverall very pleased with the product, would buy again I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered... » Read More I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered well, only to discover in the bright sunlight I needed to have sprayed it on a little thickerOverall very pleased with the product, would buy again « Show Less
