    Im getting ready to paint my house and am thinking about painting my asbestos roof. I want it to blend in with the other slated roof colours that are shown in the attachment file. I will be powerwashing the whole house and applying fungicidal to deal with algae growths etc where necessary. The asbestos roof has alot of moss growing on it. After power washing it, is it necessary to apply fungicidal to this also to prevent further growth and what paint types should be applyed to the asbestos roof?? acrylic latex etc??

    What you have is a cement board roof, which may have asbestos in it. Just treat it like you would any other cement when painting...
