Finishes and Coating FAQ

What paint/stain/coating/finish should I use on my roof/sidewall?
For specific questions on paints, stains and coatings the CSSB recommends contacting your local, Member Contractor/Installer or local, competent, professional paint contractor or paint store.
Is staining a problem for painted shingles applied with electro galvanized nails?
The electro galvanized nails can get moisture through the shingle. Not only might they rust, but the paint on the nail head will come off and the rust will bleed through any cracks in the paint.
