Our roofing paints in red, green and black are strictly pure asphalt paints and not tar dope with which the market is flooded at low price. The real stuff costs only slightly more and you get a paint that will preserve your roof instead of eating it up. See me or A E. Kirk about that rusty roof. HIRAM DAY.
