I have a large garage with a metal roof. The roof came of a factory so its not the cheap stuff from B&Q. Thing is I think it did not like the snow. What would be best to paint over it. I was looking at this stuff.

Got a good slope and used the old holes bottom channel, dont have problem with the water draining off it just some of the roof was fire damaged and needs coating and would like something to paint over the the seams.. Have a few leaks after the snow.

ahhh right..then you need this stuff,put a dap on each fixing head and try open the seams and paint it in then close the seams up again..you also need to put some in the head laps too

Oh I more thing.. Inside I get a lot of condensation on the roof. Anything to stop that?

common fault with un-insulated sheets...the sheets condence each night after being warmed up and the only thing you can do without replacing them is to insulate from the underside with kingspan,50mm held up to the underside of sheets with 2x2 timber fixed to spars..the sheets are 8x4 ft and foil backed which any builders merchants can sell them,around here there £16 per 8x4 sheet

Thanks to Znut

 

Roof all sealed up, only took me 2 hours.. Just need some rain to test it lol...
