Could you explain acrylic elastomer a bit or point me (and others?) in the "more information" direction?  I assume this goes on/over the existing roof material.  What is the finished appearance?  You are using it on a standing seam roof, right?   Are there other situations for its use?  Who are some
material manufacturers?

Thanks for any information you can supply.

Prep money is the same regardless, so I consider it an investment for the long term.  It's just surface rust (that photo is only 4 years old), so I have no need for the reinforcement.
