[Greenbuilding] Paint a tar roof?

[Benjamin Pratt]

My garage has an almost flat black tar roof. It gets really hot in the
summer, but I need to work in there, I know I can buy a silver coating and
there is a white coating (but it says it won't work where the water
puddles),  What about painting it? Would regular oil based or water based
paint work? I believe I can get free paint at the recycling center.
Anyone tried it? I googled it and haven't found much.  It looks like the
paint that accidentally spilled on the roof is holding up just fine...
