Getting ready to paint. I'm using original vent , the kind with two thumb screw posts, very cool and in excellent condition. I have new roof(heavy guage), and new solid rafters. I plan on putty tape, then dicor as recomended here. Would that system be best before or after paint on the new aluminimum, or does it matter? Thanks.

I paint the roof before Dicor. You can do it before the vent or after, and you can leave just a little space around the vent opening that is bare clean metal or paint to the opening. I haven't noticed a difference myself. Once the vent is in and seated, clean the putty, then go for the Dicor. It takes one tube for each vent. Very goopy, like liquid bubble gum. Be prepared and do NOT try to smooth it. It will self level and look OK.
