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)

If you decide to sand the top, make sure you seal it. I'm no expert on fiberglass by any means, but I can tell you about targa tops with cracked up paint because whoever painted it didn't prep it properly.

Also, there's somebody in the San Diego area who's been skinning original tops with a layer of carbon fiber. He does a good job and it looks sweet.
