Can I paint this over the kool coat I have on my roof now, or must I etch, sand or prime it first. It's old and pretty worn.

I don't know what cool coat is, but if it is in not peeling off I would say that liquid roof will stick to it without stripping the old coat off. The liquid roof is very sticky and adheres to most everything.

I pressure-washed mine to get the peeling up and then put the coat directly on the top. never had any problem with it.

wash your roof and let dry, then apply,Cut in with a paint brush along edges and around vent and such, then I poured some out then used a squeege to spread. very pleased with results. when I was done roof looked all bubbled, once product was fuuly cured ( A week) depending on weather, humidity and temp. roof shrunck and had a smooth appearance. very pleased with EPDM

The original paint is holding up pretty well so far. If you plan to paint over it I would suggest sanding it first.

You would have to remove the rust first with steel wool or sanding paper. If you paint over the rust it would just eat the paint away.

You do not need to top coat it. It does scratch rather easily without a too coat but under carpet it would be fine. I put this on the inside and outside of my cj7 before painting it. It's a beige color and has some sandy texture to it.

Needs to be totally dry, time depends on the temperature and exposure to sunlight. If in doubt, let it dry longer so primer and paint adhere properly.

I will tell you one thing. do no skimp on prep time. If you can, san all of the old paint off first. It is not easy, but this is the only way to get a factory finish. might i suggest a wire wheel on a drill, then after that , smooth out the metal o it is realatively smooth. When you now paint it, make sure you do noy let the nozzle get to close to prevent runs, if ny type of imperfections were to happen, then wait for the taint to dry, then sand the imperfevt area, then put on at leaaaat two thinne coats rather than one Robert thicke coat

Even though I managed to spray paint (white ) using a cheap spray can of paint it is better to scrap the original black paint and apply a coat of appropriate primer and then the required color paint. That way it will be more durable and much more appealing . My van being more than 13 years old I don't want to spend too much on it that is why I just sprayed it without bothering to remove the original paint (black)it came with

This will work fine Diane. I once said that you can paint over dirt and get a nice finish with this material and it's true. Your trick is going to be using two coats as the first covers and the xecond gives the 'hammered look. Make sure the first coat is dry before adding the second and you need no luck at all; just about 40 minutes.Very Best.

You would have to prime it first and then paint. If you paint without priming the paint may not stick.

Yes you do have to use a better quality grade paint. And it also does not do well in cold weather.

You could paint. Or better to sand lightly, remove dust w tack cloth & stain&varnish.;

I don't know. I didn't use any kind of paint over it. But it looks like you could paint over it. Sorry I could not help you with an answer.

I have not tried painting mine but based on the material you probably could. I would definitely give it a good sanding first to help remove the gloss (coating?) and use paint or primer that has some tackiness to it. Hope that helps.

I would clean the rust first by using a wire brush or sandpaper then wipe the surface. Then apply Plasti-Kote. Let it dry as it turns black. Then you can paint over it. Sand prior to painting if desired.

To be on the safe side, I would clean the sufface with TSP, and then use the primer. I would also use a hard bristle brush during cleaning, to remove any loose sealants, or coatings. Be sure to caulk around any roof vents before application. Hope this helps.

File the top coat to break the seal then soak off. Some ppl don't file its up to you :):):):)
