4 years ago my wife and I rebuilt our homemade wooden teardrop trailer (there's a writeup on it here on ExPo but I'm too lazy to dig it up - use the keyword "bubbles" and you should be able to find it.
)
.
Our biggest issue was that the thin plywood on the roof was breaking down in the vicious Colorado sun and we were really worried that it would fail. We considered covering it with aluminum but the cost would have been prohibitive. Sealing with CPES would have been an option but that was way beyond my skill set.
.
What we ultimately decided on was Monstaliner. I called the company and told them what I was trying to do and they recommended that we put a coat of their "chassis saver" aluminized coating on first to seal and harden the surface, and then put the Monstaliner over that. We actually used two different colors because we wanted to replicate the "teardrop" shape that the builder had put on top of the trailer, and the result was spectacular.
.
Once thing to consider about Monstaliner is that we rolled it on with the rollers that are included in the kit and the surface was pretty smooth to the touch - not the spiky, friction-y surface that you get with some bed liners. Some people like the friction on a bed liner as it will help hold things in place, but we didn't want it on the outside of our trailer.
.
We kept that trailer for 2 more years and multiple camping trips, everywhere from the Front Range of the Rockies up to Glacier National Park, out to Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, through Death Valley and out to Texas and Oklahoma and the Monstaliner proved to be as tough as nails - no chips, no cracks and the finish looked as good on the day we sold the trailer as it did when we put it on two years before.
.
So even though it was a different sort of application than the one you're talking about, I think I can safely recommend Monstaliner. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for.
