    Default "NUTECH" acrylic paint for roofing - anyone used it?

    Not exactly a woodwork finish but....

    Has anyone ever used Nutech Roofing Paint? They claim to be the world leaders (unsurprising given it's for Aussie conditions).

    I used some today on H3 treated pine (weather exposed rafters for the Vege Garden), and I have to say it's the best paint I've ever used! Where I would normally put 3 coats of Solaguard (which I also regard as excellent), 2 coats of this stuff was plenty.

    It's thick, almost like the water based bitumen that I have used more than 20 litres of lately, and the stirring stick will just stand up in it. Doesn't drip - I could load up the brush with enough paint to do a 2.7m length of a 90mm board and had some left to start the 45mm edge.

    The best thing of all is that it was found by the roadside, and just happened to be my favourite Ironstone colour that I am using extensively atm. About 9 litres left in the 20 litre drum and a tiny amount of skinning (not enough to worry about).

    That's the equivalent of $150 worth of Solaguard!

    I just had my tiled roof painted in Nutech the SIL help a mate of his with all the gear, it's the only paint they will use, the SIL bought some gear from another roof painter who said he uses other brands topcoats but will only use Nutech sealer.
    That's good to know it flows ok on timber as i have about 10 litres left over.
