Paint for a felt roof?

[Warthog]

Hi

We've just had new felt roofing installed on a small summer house. Nothing wrong with the roof, but my wife doesn't like the bright green colour. Can anyone advise me on the type of paint I would need to cover the roof? Sealing is not important--just the colour, but I'd like to find something that is reasonably priced and will last.

Thanks

Should have asked her first. Seriously ther are a few paints available, ask at your local *&* shop.

you can get 5ltrs of black bitumen at johnstones for 11quid. it goes on shiney then dries completly matt in a week or so. its suitable for felt rooves will repell water etc just make sure you put dust sheets round your house you dont want any black tar drips on the ground.

its really easy to apply you just paint it on, if its a large area you'll save allot of time by cutting round the edges with a cheap 3" brush and doing the middle with a soft sweeping brush and a scuttle. store the brushes in water over night to stop them going hard if your giving it two coats.
