I sold this chimney flashing job today and need a whole bundle of these shingles. I'm not sure what brand or what the color name is. Don't let the pic fool ya, they are 13 inches wide and 39 inches long 3-tabs and have a 5 3/4 inch exposure. Anyone know?

Probably IKO dual gray. They look to be about 10 or 12 years old. I don't know if they still make metric 3-1's

Yes, many things come to mind. Yes I agree with old school, but for some reason I am hesitant on dual grey. Been a roofer now for 28 Years and can't with all good consions say for sure.

They are 3 years old. The guy let an out of town storm chaser do the roof for what insurance would pay. Evidently insurance didn't pay for new chimney flashing or else the storm chaser pocketed it.

GAF Nickel Grey?

I would use shingles off the back of the roof so the front look uniform. Then blend in regular shingles or an different brand in the back if I had to.

Find you metrics and get a bundle of each gray that might match. Bring them all to the job.

GAF Nickel gray would be close except for the whiter tabs in it. Around here I can't get metric 3-tabs w/o special ordering.

Lefty1

Do not use the whiter tabs.

clvr83

Well, good point. Does GAF make a metric 3-tab?

Lefty1

I think in some areas they do. You could use the metrics from the back on the front. Then blend the regular with the metrics in the back.

Or you could use the caps for tabs and use the regular shingles for the caps.

You can make it work somehow.

Why are you reflashing the chimney? Is it leaking? It is pretty high on the roof to be leaking around the roof flashing.

Yes, it is leaking. I will do my best not to put the flashing on upside down. ;)

Looks like iko charcoal grey to me. Marathon are metric 3tab. Their laminates are a crapshoot but the 3tab aren't too bad.

You got it PatChap. I went down to ABC Supply today with a shingle I took off the roof. It was IKO Marathon Charcoal Grey. They didn't have any in stock, no one else in this town sells IKO and it's a BIG town with a dozen roofing suppliers plus the big boxes. They ordered me a whole bundle to be shipped in with the next load.

Great-be sure to take a picture of that leak. From these pictures, I don't see how you could conclude the roof flashing is leaking. Something less invasive would be in order.
