on a completely different note............any new thoughts on BusKote and similar type paints?  is there any BAD side to them?  and is kool seal that you can supposedly get at home depot and lowes  the same thing?  or no?

I've had very good results with Bus Kote. Does what it is supposed to, and stays put. Does not leave streaks after lots of rain, after weathering in. Two thumbs up!!!

I used Kool Seal from Home Deopt three years ago. It still looks the same except with all of the dust and smog here in Los Angeles, it can look nasty. I put on a total of five coats. It did make a differance in temperature inside the coach of around 15 degrees.

I thought I would look into painting over it when I paint the exterior, but I have not looked into if it is possible.

Just make sure you have a very clean surface, wait a couple of days between coats, so it has a chance to breathe and cure.
I put mine on at a one coat a day rate. I think that I should have had more time between them.

Hope this helps.
