Primer?

4 years ago
I have used acrylic latex paint including Behr on asphalt shingles without primer and the results were fine even 15 years after painting the roof white so see no need for a primer. My experience is that acrylic latex paint adheres very well to asphalt shingles and in addition, acts to hold the gravel to the shingle. Why does Behr recommend a primer? I have also thinned the first coat substantially to ensure that it it seeped between shingles since I have found the paint acts as an additional bond between shingles. Overall, I have found that painting shingles will add substantial life to them.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Garbage product

This product is terrible. It cannot withstand freezing temperatures as it says it can. My roof (metal roof). was done under a year ago and it’s already peeling ALL off and has to be redone. I highly do not recommend this product to anyone.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi DaniV, thank you for your review. I’m so sorry the paint is peeling off your metal roof after a year. To fix this, I recommend removing any loose paint, sanding smooth any edges, cleaning the surface, letting it dry, spot priming any bare metal with our Multi-Surface Primer No. 436, then touching up and recoating with our roof paint. Customer satisfaction is very important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. I’ll reach out to you directly to assist you with this further. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Joni

Great Idea! We will use this on our future project

7 years ago
We did not get the coverage listed on the can of 250-450 square feet per gallon. We currently used 18 gallons for a 2400 square foot roof and may need 5 gallons more using an roller for extra course surfaces. Maybe if the roof was sprayed we could get better coverage rates. The current roof was in very poor condition and was a light tan color and we used a black Behr paint. The finished roof looks beautiful. It looks brand new. Behr claims it will not extend the life of the roof or prevent leaks, but after applying it, I think is has to extend the life of the roof and fill areas that might leak. It takes some practice to get a nice even painted surface. Using different techniques will generate a different finish. We tried a brush, different rollers and will be using a sprayer. Different painters got different results. We got the best results painting in horizontal rows following the shingle tiles. Areas where we painted two coats look really nice.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great Idea- But Need LOTS of Paint

10 years ago
My roof is only 2 1/2 years old but my wife and I wanted to change the color so it matched the siding and shutters. I was happy to find a product like this that I could use on asphalt shingles, and very happy to read about the coverage. Unfortunately, the coverage estimates are no where near accurate for architectural shingles. Rather than one 5 gallon bucket of primer and one 5 gallon bucket of paint for my 1,800 sq foot roof, I had to use 12 gallons of primer and about the same for the paint- I'm waiting for my third order of paint to arrive to finish the project. The cost of the project is triple what I budgeted. I'm using a 1 1/4" nap roller. I'd have to use even more paint if I wanted to cover every shingle overlap entirely. I assume the architectural shingle requires more paint than a traditional style shingle. I wish I knew this before starting the project. My wife and I are thrilled with the look of the roof (we used matte black).

Yes, I recommend this product.

Awesome Product! Saved Thousands!

10 years ago
This product exceeded my expectations. I bought a home with a roof in a great shape but I wanted to paint the exterior and the roof color was brown and did not coordinate well. We painted the roof with the charcoal color and it looks amazing! The product has excellent coverage, it took about 5 gallons to cover the roof of a 1920 SF home. The product is pretty thick and imagine it seals up any potential leaks that may be forming as well. I will definitely use again if needed!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Good paint, but buy more than you think you need!

14 years ago
First of all I LOVE that this paint comes in so many colors, even though I chose "boring" black it was nice to have other options if I so desired. We used it on an OSB roof on our horse shed so not a typical roofing material. It went on really easily and was smooth finish...not like one of the other brands we have tried in the past. In hindsight we should have bought another 5 gallons to do a 2nd coat and will be doing so in the future. Only complaint is that I wish it had more of a sealant factor so we didn't have to go over the roof again with caulk.

Yes, I recommend this product.
