How do you paint roof shingles on a garden shed??
I painted my shed a dark gray, the prervious color was a medium tan. The shingles were shades of brown and tan and I was hoping there is a way I could paint the shingles to make a better match?

Hi Elaine, I looked into this and found out that you can paint shingles. Behr has multi surface roof paint that you could use to match your shingles.

The short answer is 'yes' you can paint asphalt shingles. The project requires prep - good cleaning and they may need to be touched-up over time. Here's a link:

Hello. Here is a link that could be helpful.
Very interesting question —that I never considered —-learning something every day. Our boat dock roof has different color shingles than our house.

Here's an article that might help. I don't know how they've done it, but there is a community near me that every house has painted their shingles with some type of silver reflective coating. My guess is a contractor came through and offered a great deal. It looks great and it has been over 10 years so it looks like it is a good option.

Hi Elaine, I just recently had my shingles painted and my contractor did an amazing job transforming it from red to a freshly looking blue shingles. If you're in the area, you might want to check out Roofing Services, Tuckahoe.

Yes, you can paint nearly anything. Just be sure to prep well and select the paint manufactured for the specific surface. Their are roof paints on the market now and available at or can be ordered through home improvement stores. Good luck! I totally get being bugged when you change one thing and make it look great, it often results in another project! :)
