Hi there here is a list of supply store in NC
Representatives/Distributors in Your Area - Tremco Commercial Sealants & Weatherproofing
that most probably don't carry in stock but can order for sure. North of the border , iit is only sold in 5 gal pails (wayyyy more than you need) but this product will grow on you! You will want to put it everywhere. The price? since i am not aware of the US price, don't quote me on this, but suspect a 300$ ish (probably lower) for a 5 gal pail. Hope this help.

It's peeling off in large patches in places and whenever we wash the trailer the white pigment drips down the sides making it very challenging to dry it. 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.

Thanks for the picture '84 Soverign, I too have a couple of leaks in our '78 Argosy and was not sure where to 'end' the paint so as not to see it too much. I will consider masking off as well. Looks like Kool Seal is a good choice, but suddenly Lowe's here in Atlanta no longer sell it. Their site shows other dealers, but none close by. Any other brand suggestions out there?
