Old style tin roofing for barn

[esarratt]

Any suggestions where I can buy that old style tin roofing that you see on old barns? Like in the picture, but new.

Thank you!

Look up 5V roofing; Last time I got it at Lowes...

I have plenty of that rusted stuff!!!!

Good quality paint would stick nicely to that rust. I would not replace it for cosmetic reasons alone. I ripped off a pile to replace it with Cedar shakes and that was nice but twenty years later a big expensive mistake.

Here, people are buying all the rusty tin that they can to decorate the ceilings of their homes. Craigslist will have it from time to time, but for best results, it's better to just buy it and stain it yourself to get that look. There are dozens on websites with different formulas on how to do this. I think bleach, vinegar and rust are used, but I would do a search first and read up on it. The results that I've seen have looked pretty realistic.

What are you looking to do? Replace because of rust? Replace damaged pieces? Add new pieces to match?

If it's just for appearance, they make aluminum colored roof coatings that will seal almost better than new.

Avoid the big box stores if you need to buy. They're at least double in price over metal roofing suppliers. You should be able to find a few near you.

Aluminum paint is the most funnest of all! lol Second only to Anti Seize.

So what do I need to paint my metal roof? I've read I need a primer...

I don't have any old paint and the rust is just surface rust, not flaking...

I've spent my entire life trying to make my place, wherever I was, look a bit better; now people want to feel like they live in the ghetto. There's no accounting for taste, that's for sure.

Look at what some people are paying for pre-ripped jeans.
