Agricultural engineers at Iowa State College advise keeping metal roofs weather tight, then painting before rusting. Use screw type nails when nailing into sound wood is not possible, add asbestos between laps, and brush rust before painting. Two coats of metallic zinc paint extend service to about 12 years.

Paints for Roofs Prevent Rust and Extend Life
Engineers advise several paints to prevent rust on roofs. Metallic zinc paint is most serviceable on galvanized surfaces. two coats can replace zinc coating on ordinary roofing sheets. Asphalt paint is cheap but low coverage, best for holes. never cover asphalt with other paint. Aluminum paint yields a reflective finish but is not a prime coat. Zinc chromate serves well as a prime coat. small zinc additions boost iron oxide life. Red and blue lead paints fade quickly and pose lead poisoning risks.

Home canned foods suffer more from oxidation. temperature most affects color. Keep a week’s supply on a kitchen shelf even in a basement storage area.
