Texture / Repair Targa Top, My targa looks like it is 30 yrs old... Options

[AZ914]

I realize this may be a re-hash of a past post but I couldn't find it.

My top looks like hell... definitely faded, and a few small spots have the texturing & paint rubbed off. I would like to restore the targa to its original textured condition. I am keeping the sail vinyl so am not interested in painting to match the car.

I could:
1. Repair the few 'bald' spots & paint the roof -or-
2. Sand and retexture & paint the entire roof

Has anyone done either of these? If so, what did you use to fix the bald spots or how did you achieve that stock textured look (rocker paint, etc.)?

Thanks!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

The workshop manuals I have are not all that enlightening. In fact, it totals two sentences.

"The fiberglass roof, fron and rear bumpers (beginning with 1973 models, except cars built to USA specifications), front and rear panels, and outer covers of the rocker panels are painted a dull black.

If repainting becomes necessary, use domestically supplied paints, such as Rinshed-Mason Nr. 681 Black or equivalent."

"how to restore and modify your porsche 914 adn 914/6" suggests the best (although not perfect) paint match is Wurth Matte Black paint.
