Paint prices

Hello. Is there a significant price difference between Kynar paint and SMP paint for a standing seam panel in the same gauge?		Guest User 7/31/2017	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22308/find/
It is not a huge difference by any means, unless it means "special order" and extra freight charges, etc.		Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 7/31/2017	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22309/find/
Generally speaking for fade resistance, is SMP paint suitable for light colors and Kynar paint for darker colors? Do darker colors show fading quicker than lighter colors?		Guest User 8/8/2017	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22310/find/
Jeff, there is some validity to what you're saying but chalk rates will be similar between dark and light colors. I personally would really steer toward PVDF for any high UV areas such as southern or high altitude areas, and I'd prefer PVDF for all applications.

Thanks Todd for the info and for replying. I live in eastern NC and I would consider my location to be a high UV area. The more I hear and read about PVDF the more I believe I need to go that route. I'm considering a lighter color rather than a darker color for more sun reflection and a cooler attic. Seems to me that PVDF may have a few more color options available and closer to what I may get. Thanks again for your help. I'll call again if I have a brainstorm and need clarification. Jeff		Guest User 8/9/2017	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22312/find/
