I am in the process of buying a farm that has an early 1900's 2 story brick house. The house has a standing seam tin roof that seems to be in decent shape other than the roof looks bad because of the rust. It doesn't leak other than around the chimneys. I am looking for some type of paint that will reseal the steel incase there are any pin holes, stop further rust, and be a fairly long term answer. I have stopped at several paint stores looking for a rustoleum type paint and been told that is not a usable product for steel roofing. They all want to sell me some fiber laden sealing type paint, which would be fine but none of it is tintable. I want to paint the roof a forest green to match the ornate trim work on the exterior. I know the silver was used to help reflect heat instead of absorb it, but the house has an attic so I am not to concerned about being baked out of the upstairs bedrooms because the dark color is absorbing the heat. Its weird, the house has a silver tin roof but the barn has a black shingle roof.
Any ideas what type of paint product would be available for this situation?
