DiamondFinish Clear Coat aver Elastomeric roof seal?

[Lowkee]

I have Henry's SolarFlex to go over my roof. I understand elastomeric paints collect things like dirt & tree sap and will stain over time. I would like to clear coat the entire bus after I paint. Will a clear coat like DiamondFinish work for this? I am concerned the inherent flexibility of the elastomeric roof coating will cause the clear coat to crack.

The cracking issue as well as adhesion. It would probably require a primer that could stick to the substrate and the top coat... And I don't know if there are clear primers. I will ask around about flexible clear coatings. There might be something.

Before I get too far into this, diamond finish actually says it's flexible lol.

I would call them and ask about going over the elastomeric.

Well, that website makes all kind of claims and I'm not really one to trust salespeople. I'm more looking for firsthand experience with those that have clear coated their roofs.

I totally understand. Lol
I will still ask around. I have friends that work for a couple of the big boys in the coatings world.
