Ive done a lot of this type of painting.
Seems its up for arguement . I wont bother with that , but I prefer equipment enamel.
Its tough to get paint to last on a roof and what Ive mentioned does last.

to what Mooney wrote I'll add: Imagine the wide range of expansion and contraction that a sheet metal roof must undergo. It might start the day at 28 degrees, then have the sun beat down on it for a few hours and it expands. Then it contracts that night. Not an easy environment for the paint.
