Hello,
My targa top looks like hell. I'd like to refinish it. I'd like to get rid of the pebbled finish and have it smooth, but not sure of the best way to make that happen. Looking for advice? What has worked for you? FYI - I did the truck bed liner stuff a few years ago, and the results didn't last. TIA |

Somewhere here someone post about how they refinished it with light coat of Line-X and then rattle-canned to match the vinyl luster. It came out nice. The end result was a good texture and color match and good durability.
