Title: Kool coat?
Post by: Ed Hackenbruch on January 16, 2010, 06:28:58 AM
anybody ever heard of it or used it?  It is a paint additive that helps insulate for heating/cooling.  Thinking it might help keep a bus cooler, ie. not need to use the ac as much in warmer climates.

Ask John Ed about a product he is testing. We used it and we are more than sold on it. Way better than Kool coat.

We used Hy-Tech Bus Kote #2150 and so are quite pleased with it's performance. However that's the only product I've used.

I also used Bus Kote with great results. Much better product for our purposes than Kool Seal. And no chalky runoff!

Jay, i wasn't talking about Kool  Seal, i am familiar with that.  KoolCoat is different and i was curious if anybody had used it on their bus or home.  Now i am just waiting to see what John has going on. :)
