Its bright Arctic white finish increases solar reflectivity to reduce heat gain inside the coach. Dicor recommends two coats at an application rate of approximately 1 gallon per 200 sq. ft. per coat for proper protection and coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this coating protect a metal RV roof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe acrylic elastomeric resin cures into a continuous, elastic layer that bridges small surface imperfections and accommodates thermal movement. It resists cracking as the roof expands and contracts, helping maintain a sealed surface that sheds water and shields the underlying metal from weather exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForms a flexible, rubber‑like membrane that expands and contracts with the roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeals minor surface imperfections and helps shed water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for aluminum, steel, and previously coated metal RV roofs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it help keep my RV interior cooler?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Arctic white pigment is chosen for high reflectivity, which reduces solar heat absorption on the roof surface. By reflecting more sunlight, the coating can lower roof temperatures and reduce the cooling load inside the RV on sunny days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrilliant white finish increases solar reflectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan reduce roof surface temperature under direct sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks best when applied evenly in the recommended two‑coat system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I apply Dicor RP‑MRC‑1 and what coverage should I expect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply to a clean, dry metal roof that is free of loose coatings, dirt, oil, and oxidation.
