Shipping Container House Roof Painting - Living Tiny Project Ep. 013

What a relief!! The good news today is that after so long working on the roof, we finally have a painted and rust free roof.

This is the 13th episode towards our goal of building, by ourselves, a Tiny Shipping Container House and producing a Youtube Series about it called Living Tiny Project.

Well we do know black is not the right color to paint a shipping container roof, but we actually have an explanation for choosing this specific kind of paint. If you are curious to understand why, make sure to watch today’s episode of our video series. Hopefully by the end of the video you you understand and agree with our decision.

This episode is all about shipping container painting. As in the beginning we didn’t know what we where doing, we actually use different kind of paint in different parts of the roof. This been said I think the best is to share with you guys what we learned from it.

In our opinion, if we would start all over again and do it “rigth” from scratch, this is how we would do it:

1st – Wash the shipping container with a pressurized hose.
2nd – Grind off the big rust parts.
3rd – Patch the necessary holes.
4th – Clean the surface with a degreasing agent.
5th – Treat any spot that still has any sign of rust with rust converter.
6th – 24 hours later 2 cros-layers of black matte vinyl paint (20 minutes interval).
7th – 20 minutes later 2 layers of liquid asphalt paint (24 hours interval).

That’s just our opinion, if you find anything wrong let us know on the comments section below.

This is the history of a young couple that have been sharing dreams for over 10 years. After a sabbatical trip around Australia, Indonesia, Thailand and New Zealand they came up with the idea of building their own Tiny House, something the have been dreaming for years.
