So the coating is cracked not the rubber? 500$ for silver paint is way
overpriced if you can do hot tar at 250, Hot Tar isnt needed for
rubber. If you can do real Hot Tar for 250 silver paint should be 100.
What sq ft is it, does it leak.

If coating is cracked just recoat with the silver stuff, but its about
3 hrs work, hardly worth 500. I just had a guy put the stuff on for
100 as he was doing other work.
