We'd love to take it all off, but the coating that isn't peeling seems bound and determined to stay on.
We hope this helps. Good luck with your decision.

I've been toying with painting my roof too, and hearing about those who've done it, how to prepare and prime the surface and what are the long term issues, this interests me. Any method to lower the summer time temperature inside the cabin helps even if its just by a couple of degrees.
How many people would notice the 'skunk' look? and what would it matter. Maybe if we had a two story house, or lived on a bridge I'd notice. I see the grime and lack of clear coat whenever the step ladders are out.
