<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Drake and August,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My '80's era solar hot water
inherited customer told me he used latex paint on the "rubber(?)" insert in
the flashings as well as on the pipe insulation (and they were in flexible
shape some 20+ years later). Oatey (et al) makes the "rubber"
washer flashings and John Deks (et al) makes
the Dektite bellows/accordion style flashing. The customer used a
color that matched the dark bronze of the existing metalwork and I'm thinking
the dark color may provide more UV resistance than lighter
colors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is now aerosol plastic paint from Krylon
and Rust-oleum sold for plastic lawn furniture, plastic sheds, etc. It does
a great job of camouflaging the white PVC pipe used in solar pool heat
systems on a dark roof but I don't know of its suitability/compatibility
for use on the flashing seal materials mentioned above. </FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hello Wrenches,<BR><BR>We had a discussion on the list
previously concerning degradation of rubber boots on flashings due to UV
exposure. Apparently painted boots will hold up much better than non
painted. Can anyone recommend an appropriate paint to
use?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Drake <BR><BR></P>
