ROOFDX GOLD
Metallic Elastomeric Roof Coating with Golden Finish
ROOFDX GOLD is an exceptionally tough, rubber-like waterproofing roof coating formulated with brass flakes to create a rich golden metallic surface. This high-performance “liquid gold” system delivers a brilliant architectural finish while providing long-term weatherproofing and substrate protection.
Suitable for virtually all common roofing substrates, ROOFDX GOLD offers the visual impact of gold leaf at a fraction of the cost. For a brilliant, high-gloss appearance and long-term color preservation, it may be sealed with CLEARCOAT 44. Left uncoated, the finish will naturally develop an attractive weathered bronze patina over time.
Key Performance Features
- Distinctive Metallic Finish – Produces a stunning antique gold appearance
- Corrosion & UV Protection – Shields substrates from rust, acid rain, UV degradation, and water intrusion
- Seamless Waterproof Membrane – Forms a dense, elastomeric barrier for maximum durability
- Temperature Stability – Flexible and resilient in low temperatures; will not flow or deform in heat
- Versatile Application – Brush, roller, or airless spray applied
- Ponding Water Resistant – Suitable for horizontal, pitched, and vertical surfaces
- Patina Option – May be allowed to naturally weather into a bronze statuary appearance
- Gold Leaf Compatible – Provides an appropriate substrate for future gold leaf application
- Recoat-Friendly – Easily recoated for repairs and extended service life
- Warranty Protection – 10-year material warranty, extendable with re-coating

Preparation and Application
Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be dry, free of dirt, loose debris, oils, grease or any substance that could interfere with adhesion. Do not apply if the substrate or air temperature is predicted to drop below 35°F (2°C) within 4 hours after application. The application surface must remain at least 5°F (3°C) above dew point during the application and curing process.
Application
Do not apply ROOFDX GOLD to wet, damp, or frozen surfaces. Do not apply if the area cannot be protected from precipitation for at least 4 hours after application. ROOFDX GOLD is applied directly out of the container after at least 2 minutes of low speed drill stirring. Do not thin the product. Apply in 2 coats using a soft brush, medium nap roller, or airless sprayer in a smooth, even technique.
Spray Application
For spray application use 30:1 airless pump, 3/8″ short hose and 33 to 37 tip
Recommended Thickness
20 mils Dry Film Thickness (DFT)
Drying Time
Approximately 3 hours at 70°F (21°C) and 70% RH.
Clean up
Clean tools and equipment with xylene or toluene solvent.
Storage
Store in a dry area and protect from direct sunlight and freezing. Keep container tightly sealed. Shelf life is 2 years from date of manufacture when stored in a factory sealed container between 45ºF (7ºC) and 90ºF (32ºC).
Disposal
Waste disposal must be in accordance with existing federal, state and local environmental control laws. Incineration is the preferred method of disposal.
