Leo, To answer your ?, No, Not down here in Texas!
About 12 or so yrs ago I used an Aluminum Roof Coating on 2 old barns on our place,It is by Monsey...Called Premium Aluminum Roof Coating with fibers to fill the cracks and nail holes in the old corrigated sheet iron.
It comes in 5 gal buckets. This product is black as black can be when you first open up the bucket. It takes a stirrer on a 1/2 horse drill to throughly mix the product up with the black petroleum base, after it is mixed up it is bright silver. You will need a heavy 6 or 8 in brush to paint it on the roof. Since the roofs on the 2 barns here were low pitched I attached a 5 ft broom handle to the handle so I could stand on the roof and paint it and not have to bend over.
Bottom line you will get what you pay for with the Gypsy roof painters that travel around the country painting @ roofs here and there. They have been known to thin down the paint so it will look nice till the first heavy rain or snow and you will be very disappointed,
DO The Job Yourself, or
Hire a local reputable contractor spend your $$$$ locally if at all possible. Build a rapport with him and he will take care of you in yrs to come.
I do not have any current prices on a 5 gal bucket. I would bet that 2 or 3 buckets will do your barn roof the only thing else you would bo out is your time and a few materials.
Please go over and shoot screws down to secure the roof so it will be ready for the coating and you will be much happier with the end result when done. Hope this helps!
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y ... [Read Article]
