Choosing roof paint for your roof
Roof paint works as a system: clean the roof, prime or seal it to suit the surface, then apply the topcoat. The primer is where most of the decision sits, because metal, concrete and terracotta each need something different.
On a metal roof, RGL Roof Paint is a water-based acrylic made for metal roofing, and RGL Xtreme Roof Paint is RGL's high-gloss membrane for restoration work. Aged Colorbond, Zincalume and galvanised steel can be primed with Dulux Acratex Roof Primer MX Plus before the topcoat goes on.
For concrete tiles, Acratex Roof Sealer WB is for concrete tiles in good condition, while Acratex Roof Primer Surfacer builds up aged and pitted tiles. Dulux Acratex Roof Membrane then goes over concrete or metal in a satin or gloss finish.
Terracotta tiles have their own Acratex Terracotta Roof Primer. If the tiles are sound and you only want the shine back, Nutech Terraglaze is a clear coat for unglazed terracotta that keeps the natural tile colour.
If heat under the roof is the bigger concern, Nutech NXT Cool Zone is a heat-reflective roof coating, sold in gloss and low-sheen versions. The Dulux products are also grouped under Dulux roof coatings.
For small repairs on gutters, flashings and steelwork, the Dy-Mark aerosols cover etch priming, cold galvanising and colour touch-ups. Bond Cover Touch-Up comes in roof colours such as Night Sky and Surf Mist, which makes it handy for scratches and cut edges after a job. Rollers, brushes and trays are in painting accessories, and spray rigs are in paint machines and accessories.
Roof paint FAQs
Do I need a primer before roof paint?
In most cases, yes. The topcoat needs a sealed, even surface to bond to, and each roof material has a matched primer or sealer in this range. Check the data sheet for your topcoat, because each brand names its own basecoat.
Can I paint a Colorbond roof?
Yes. Dulux Acratex Roof Primer MX Plus is formulated for aged Colorbond as well as Zincalume and galvanised steel, and a membrane topcoat goes over it. For a scratch on a newer roof, a touch-up aerosol is the smaller fix.
What do I use on a concrete tile roof?
Start with the basecoat that suits the tiles: Roof Sealer WB for sound tiles, Roof Primer Surfacer for aged and pitted ones. Then finish with a topcoat such as Acratex Roof Membrane, Nutech TileFlex or NuFlex Roof Coating.
What sizes does roof paint come in?
Most of the roof coatings, primers and sealers here come in 15 or 20 litre pails. The Dy-Mark products are aerosol cans for small repairs.
