My lannie (300TD) has been stood a while and water pooled on the roof a bit.
It's caused over time the paintwork to flake away. :(

So I need advise on which is the best paint to get, I fear that 'cause it is a aluminium roof I'll need special stuff / primers etc.
Thanks

Thanks, I'll do that. When it comes to the water pooling I'll just get some ramps under it.
 
As well as the etching primer, I'd then use a filler primer before the top coat, it'll help fill in any imperfections where in time the etching primer may flex away and allow water to get underneath again as well as allowing you to flat sand easier before the top coat. Do you know what top coat you're going to use as that could affect your choice of etching primer?
 
Remember to paint it white otherwise you will cook in standing traffic come summer time.
 
I recently painted mine, the roof was dinted in slightly, managed to pop it out and fill some of dints with filler. Then just etch- high build then white spray can from wilko. Rustoleum brand I think. It worked well
