I tried to do a search to see if this had been discussed, but I couldn't find anything.
Repainting the top: My top needs to be repainted, and I was wondering what is the proper color. I want to shoot this with my paint gun, but is the top supposed to be flat black, as in no shine? Where they ever painted originally, was the fberglass gel just black, like the underside? My top has some blemishes in the foberglas that I had to fix, so it does need to be repainted. |

I believe the top has a texture, mine does anyway... (plan to smooth out and paint body color) someone here or on the bird board used some spray texture paint for the sail panels(instead of the vinyl) and I think the texture would be very similar... I think it's like a semi-gloss...
