Metal Shield costs [http://www.metalshield.com/buyrustproofing.html $50 per gallon]. It can be sprayed on, brushed, or rolled. Hy-Tech recommends 6-8 mils per coat, which yields approximately 150 square feet per gallon ($0.33 per square foot). However, they also say that Metal Shield "can be applied up to 20 mils thick for additional soundproofing and insulating properties with no sagging or running". At 20 mils, this would be closer to $1 per square foot. | Metal Shield costs [http://www.metalshield.com/buyrustproofing.html $50 per gallon]. It can be sprayed on, brushed, or rolled.

This product costs $90 for a 5 gallon bucket at Ace Hardware stores. This product is white, and the description on the back of the bucket says "Xtra-Lite white elastomeric roof coating is formulated with innovative Xtra-Lite microspheres and 100% acrylic elastomeric resin......the coating forms a thick rubber-like blanket of protection that expands and contracts.....It remains flexible from -30 to 160 degrees F........" The ingredient list is water,acrylic polymer,calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, and polyvinyl beads. This seems to indicate that the microspheres are polyvinyl and not ceramic, and thus may not be as effective as actual ceramic microspheres. | ||
