FOT just completed the roof coating on our coach the other day, so for those interested here are the pics.
Before:After:After closeup: And it really does have the texture of the bed liner in my truck except for being white and feeling a lot cooler... |

It looks a lot like a PU Bed Liner. Detail looks good. It should stop any white chalking from running down the side.
Don't usually wish for rain when we travel but will be very interested to find out if it is any quieter too. Dry forecast for the next few days at our current location so may have to wait for that one.
Time and cost? I'm one of those who asks a lot of questions.
No problem Larry. One full day plus overnight and the coach was ready the next morning. So we had to spend a night in a hotel as the coating cured in the paint shop overnight. $1600 - no roof repairs required.
Mark,
It really looks nice. What kind of longivity do they project? What type of maintenance going forward?
Sorry for all the questions.

Mark,
Also, is it supposed to keep the coach cooler?
Jerry - good question on the longevity, I did not ask. Cleaning? - hose it off when needed I was told. According to Steve's post above sounds like a couple of times a year should do it. As for cooler, I know that it is much cooler to my touch than the original white painted roof in direct sunlight. Not sure if that will translate into cooler inside. But, given the color of my coach I'm not sure that placing ice on the roof would have much of an effect!
Mark,
You have a beautiful coach. Where was that pic taken?
Jerry
Our Texas friends provided that opportunity - Seminole Canyon State Park. Interesting place to explore.
Beautiful job. Please keep us posted on your long-term experiences with the roof coating.
