This Lexington Paint Oil-Based Aluminum Roof Paint is formulated for all types of roofs, but it's ideally suited for metal roofs. Lexington Paint roof paint helps stop and prevent rust while keeping the building cooler during the summer months. It also helps preserve build-up composition and shingled asphalt roofs by reflecting damaging sunlight. Self-priming, this oil-based roof paint can be applied directly to rusted metal surfaces with excellent results.
