Has anyone used flex seal paint? Or does everyone just use auto paint? Need to take care of this issue before I put on my solar panels.

Since a lot of your roof is visible from the ground, due to the curved roof, you should probably stick with a good automotive paint, either a single stage or a clear over base system. Seal the seams first.

The coach doesn’t leak. Should I use something on the seams before I repaint?

Ask Tom Pryor - he got some stuff which purports to add substantial insulating property to the roof.

You can see the primer/undercoat showing through in some spots I’m pretty sure it’s the factory paint. So I’m not lucky enough to just buff it out Thank you for all the information so far

If the Imron is too far gone, buy Dupont Centari enamel in the stock color, some reducer and the activator. Prep and paint as any automotive paint job. It’s not as tough as Imron but it’s tough stuff. At ten years there is no fading or chalking. I painted the roof seams with it and it has not failed.
