Can this rusted metal roof be fixed or needs to be replaced?

Hi,

Is it possible to remove the rust from the roof and treat it with something that will last 4-5 years, or does it need to be replaced immediately? What treatment would you recommend?

Hi @anshb,

Unless there a pin holes in the sheeting allowing water through it likely doesn't need to be replaced immediately. I would suggest treating the rust with a rust converter and then priming the whole roof with Dy-Mark 1L MetalPro Zinc Gal Primer and painting with Dy-Mark 1L MetalPro Silver Zinc Metal Paint.

This should hopefully keep the rust at bay by converting and adding a protective layer of paint over the roof.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
