    It would be good to see a picture of what it looked like to see what you’re talking about. Did you use a rattle can to paint it?

    Spray can paint can be quite different from Automotive paint. I wouldn’t expect to get the same results from a spray can, or have it last.

    You may be best off looking for a shop to do it for you. Any spray can paint is going to deteriorate pretty quick, especially a black roof under that hot Florida sun…
