Thanks Pete, I have just had a read about them & they sound good, I well give them a ring tomorrow & get a price. Charlie.

Thanks Kev, yes it sounds like what I am looking for but, I can assure you it wont
be done in that sort of top coat cheers Charlie.

Hi Charlie,
I have a cream 1998 Nissan Civillian and am in the same process as yourself.
Last Christmas I purchased the thermo shield and applied as stated.

Went on well with minimal problems, when dry I placed my hand on the roof and one on the side of the bus, I expected the side to be cooler due to the angle to the sun, this was not the case, do I believe it works, Yes.

However I would warn the finish is not great, if I had the choice again I would not use it, I added a secont top coat In cream (as the original is white and stands out like the proverbial), It has helped but I would still not use it again.

I have 2 Large solar panels for the roof which I think will work as well as the paint. But its all to late now and I just have to be happy with what I have. BTW had the bus out last week end, great. can't wait for the big trip

Thanks Ian, Yes I am getting some good reports about the paint, but last trip up to Qld my brother who is a painter, recommended some heat resistant paint & put it on the roof, but to my dismay it didn't not work, in fact I recon I could bake bread in the cupboard it was sort of good before, he put it on now this is how it all started
he meant good but what a waste of time haven't got the heart to tell him, so next time I have got to make sure I get it right, Regards Charlie. hope you have a great trip!!
