  • #24: SMP & PVDF Coil Coatings: Which is best for your Metal Roof or Metal Siding?

    #24: SMP & PVDF Coil Coatings: Which is best for your Metal Roof or Metal Siding?
    Oct 4 2025
    🎙️ Stop the Fade! Mason and Shannon dive into the critical topic of metal panel coatings—what keeps your metal roofing and siding looking great for decades (and what causes that ugly fading!).

    We break down the three main coating types and tell you which factors to consider when planning your metal roofing or siding project:
    • Polyester: The coating that was designed for interiors and should not be left in the sun. This is the reason you see old roofs looking "chalky".
    • SMP (Silicone Modified Polyester): A very flexible, affordable, and durable paint system that can last 40-50 years. Its superior scratch resistance makes it the perfect choice for most metal siding.
    • PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride or Kynar): The "Mac Daddy" of coatings, known for its unparalleled color and gloss retention. It's virtually maintenance-free and often seen on high-end roofing systems.

    We explain the difference in fade resistance using Delta E units and why a harder paint isn't always best for a roof, and a softer paint isn't always best for siding.
