Plasti-Cote

[whiteheadfisher]

Hi everyone. I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever used Plasti-Cote Roof Coating for their build? The manufacturer claims it can put over wood(brushed on or rolled on), is very durable as a skin covering.
What do you folks think?

That is a really interesting idea. I searched a while but couldnt come up with any more info or even a decent pic. My google-fu let me down. I'm curious to hear what anyone has to say. Esp for applications on wood.

Sounds expensive?

Cheers,

Not really. What I've seen online is only $40 a gallon. I claims to cover 200 square ft. per.
Look up Elasti-Cote also.

I'm sorry, look for Elixir industries.

[whiteheadfisher]

I see they have aluminum and vinyl. I don't see anything that can be brushed or rolled on as a coating over an existing surface.

Wait, I think I found it. It's called: "Plas-T-Cote"

The 100% Acrylic Roof Coating is the product I'm referring too. I may give it try for my build.

Is it available at any big box stores?

Mike...

The web site has a dealer locator. I haven't checked it but I plan to do so. In TN we are having some major flooding today, so we are all glued to the TV.

[whiteheadfisher]

It doesn't appear to be available at the big box stores. It seems to be an RV product. It does look like it is available online.
