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)

I've had two tops done in TJ Mexico and they matched the original finish just about perfect. They removed the old spatter type finish and reapplied it and painted it black, sort of a semi-gloss off-matt color? If you are close to San Diego I can take you over there to the shop where I get my work done.
