A high solids, water-borne coating comprises a latex polymer, non-film-forming particulates and water. The high solids coating contains up to 90% solids (non-volatiles/volume) and pigment volume concentration (PVC) that can range between about 5% to 95%. The thick-coverage surface coating herein dries at a fast rate, provides excellent through-dry properties as measured by tensile, elongation, and water resistance, and can replace traditional coatings used in multi-coat processes. The coating herein can contain up to about 40% hollow microspheres to yield a dried coating that has up to about 57% PVC and be used as a roof coating that meets a required elongation of at least 200%.
