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. |

If it were completely smooth you could of broken the shine with some 1500 grit sand paper. I don't see the problem with having a shine, after all this work, might as well stick with it for a while and see how it holds up.
You could try to scuff it up with one of those 3M grey or red pads (like the green ones you buy for home) it's the only thing that I think that can make it between the bumps but it's risky, you can go through the clear. I wouldn't touch it. |
