Have a look at a product called Vantec it seals and insulates as well.

Frank, Vantec is not a "roof paint" or any other sort of paint/sealer for that matter.

It is a product that is sprayed on the exterior of the van to provide a 'protective surface" to reduce the effect of weather etc on the van's appearance. It is not a "sealer" as such.

I have it on mine (from new) an excellent product, but I very much doubt that spraying the roof of a van that is not brand new to seal it would be a waste of money.

Cheers - John

friends painted their roof with ceramaflex - they say it reduced the summer temp by 10 degrees - have purchased some to do ours but its too wet and cold here in Vic to do it now so will wait till later in the year in QLD

Thanks for clearing that up John, much appreciated.

I was going on what others had said to me about the product and I have not researched it at all.
