Metal Roofing is most commonly made from steel, though it can also be made from copper, aluminum or zinc. Steel metal roofing panels are usually coated in substrate known as Galvalume (which is a mixture of zinc and aluminum), they are then primed and coated with a high-quality paint (SMP or PVDF usually) which is baked on. Some unpainted metal roofing panels are simply galvanized or coated with galvalume and then coated with an acrylic finish.
What does moss growing on roofing have to do with damage?
There are thousands of different varieties of moss and lichen, but the one that does the most damage to roofing is Ascomycetes Foliose. As part of its life cycle it burrows into the roofing material. On metal roofing this can cause the paint to blister promoting corrosion. The root system can also cause concrete and clay tiles to crack. With moss on the roof the surface is never allowed to dry out. Therefore the roof surface deteriorates faster.

Can metal roofing be painted?
In short, yes. The outcome can be variable though. Most modern metal roofing panels are made from steel. This steel is usually coated with a zinc-aluminum substrate such as Galvalume or something similar. They are then primed, and a powder-coat is baked on. Common metal roofing paints are silicone-modified polyester, KYNAR, HYLAR (or similar PVDF coatings). These paints are very different in their make up and application. Some metal roofing is simply galvanized or coated with acrylic. Painting over these substrates can sometimes have negative effects. As with painting a car or any metal surface, stripping down the bare metal and reapplying primer and paint is usually the best option. This is quite an exhaustive and tedious task on a roof, and it is likely not much more expensive to replace the entire roof

What is good and bad about metal roofs?
One of the only disadvantages to metal roofing is the cost of installation, which is higher than asphalt and other composite shingles, but lower than authentic clay tile and slate. Metal roofing expert Tina Montone reminds consumers that although the cost of installing metal roofing can be higher, its long lifetime and low requirements for maintenance make it comparable to the cost of cheaper materials in the long run. Some consumers may be turned off by the sound of rain falling on a metal roof while others would consider it an added benefit. New technologies make noise reduction possible with metal roofing. Sound proofing techniques include structural barrier between the roof and the attic and the application of insulation and plywood to eliminate excess noise. Therefore noise should not be considered a barrier in choosing a metal roof. Denting can be another concern with metal roofing, but only extremely large hail or flying debris is likely to cause denting, and even then it rarely jeopardizes the integrity of the roof or causes leaking. It should be noted that aluminum and copper products are more prone to denting than harder metals such as steel. Metal roofs offer a number of advantages over almost every other type of roofing material. They are much more durable and long lasting than asphalt shingles and much easier to install, not to mention cheaper, than heavier clay and slate tiles, which share its resistance to extreme weather and fire. Metal roofing stands up to almost any weather condition imaginable including high winds, heavy rain, high and low temperatures, and even earthquakes. It is also resistant to fire and is impervious to collapse if a house does catch on fire, increasing the occupants' safety and chance of escape. Metal roofing resists the growth of mildew and algae that may appear on clay tiles and other roofing materials thereby eliminating the need for pressure washing. In some cases, metal roofing may require additional coats of paint during its lifetime depending on the products used. Consumers may also wonder whether their metal roof will rust and become unsightly or weakened. Current technologies involve treatments of the metal or protective seals and paints that make metal roofing resistant to rust, so this factor can also be dismissed as a concern. Stainless steel is of course naturally resistant to rusting but is more expensive than other metals. It should be noted that some protective seals may require reapplication more often than others to protect the roof against rusting. But being informed about the grade and durability of your chosen metal roofing product and keeping up with proper maintenance should eliminate any need for concern about rusting. Metal roofing has been around for a long time and has recently gained popularity as a residential roofing material. Some of the most famous historic structures utilized metal roofing such as Thomas Jefferson's home Monticello and the Washington Monument. With all its benefits metal roofing can be expected to continue to be a top roofing choice.
