There's plenty of topics on refinishing the targa top and suggestions, but I'm not finding any pictures. Would be great to see the various options people are suggesting with pictures of the final product. (3m rock guard, bed liner, etc)

Is there a thread I'm missing with pics, or can you post yours here?

just refinished my top.
top was completely smoothed, then painted in gloss black,lightly scuffed, then painted with a clear coat that is Matte in finish instead of gloss or flat.
came out very nice.

Looks good Dan. Specifically which paint and clear coat did you use?

Thanks!

No - it's not. I've probably put a good 1-2 hours into this project of searching for pictures and paint (not just 914world) and have come up nearly empty. I have not seen that thread before, thus search fails. There's tons of topics discussing it and the recommendations - but few pictures.

Thanks for the link!

I know, it took me three tries to get the search to work correctly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
