Thin Layer of a Concrete like Substance on Mobile Home Metal Roof

I was hoping someone might have some insight on this one. I came across a 1986 mobile home with a metal roof that had been covered in what appeared to be a skim coat of concrete. I have never seen this before and feel like this is not a proper application but I can’t find any information on what this might be. Any help is greatly appreciated.




Looks like something like this (Which can leak anytime.):

Thank you, the info is appreciated! I will do some more research on this product, I don’t do a lot of mobile homes.

FYI, after 1976 build date they are called “manufactured homes”.

And there are dozens of fluid applied coatings that can applied to the roof of one of these structures.

In South Korea, This is called liquid waterproofing. I don’t know how it’s expressed in English, so I’ll upload it as it is in Korean

It’s the same type of thing as here, it sounds like.

Did you place a ladder on the edge of the home and physically touch the material?

Yes, and you can see the tell-tale original seams in the metal roof showing through the silver coating (likely brushed or rolled on).
