According to this, with a 191 zip, you need R-38 in the attic:

The best would be spray closed cell foam, at about
R-6 per inch:

A special glass batt insulation,
R-38C is used with
2x10 roof rafters. (Or furr down the existing rafters).
Rather than glass batt, I would use :

You could also use cellulose and rigid foam board on the rafters to get required R-value and a vapor retarder in one.
You may/not require a vapor retarder because some B.D. state you need 12” of air space above the insulation with one. (Typical attic)

You might be able to use vapor barrier paint, ask your local B.D.:

Is the roof vented?
Be safe, Gary
