A quality metal roof will not fade! Whether or not one fades depends greatly on a variety of factors, the biggest being what type of paint finish is on the metal because not all paint finishes are equal! We have seen roofs that started off brown but chalked up, faded, and became tan and white over time because a contractor used an inferior product. The best finishes are Kynar 500 or Hylar 5000. With these finishes, you won’t need to worry about fading issues.
