Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Thanks

Try Solacoat www.coolshield.com.au. Have used myself, is tricky to apply suggest use a roller, and do not over roll.
We come from the land downunder.

Hi Rubes,
I'm still not sold on the special selective coatings for solar. There seems to be little difference between the special coatings and flat black high temperature barbecue paint, IMHO. I know the information is on build it solar somewhere. Gary, the site owner pops in here occasionally.

Edit: selective solar coatings Hopefully, some or all are available down under.Edited by philb 2011-12-17
