....getting ready to paint the tub. I am going to detail rockers, etc with satin black. I also am replacing all the vinyl on the targa top and sides. My question is what to do with my targa top? I've seen many people paint them black, but I'm not to sure I want to do that--nor do I want to paint everything the car color. I want the top to compliment the new vinyl in color and texture. From what I've seen, many tops that have been painted stand out (too shiny,etc) from the vinyl.
I am also concerned that if I paint the top, taking the top off and on might lead to the paint cracking as the top flexes being removed?? Is there a way to bring the top back to life without paint?? If not, what paint would you recommend for durability, flexibility, and color to achieve the look I'm after? Much appreciated, Mark |

North Bay 914 - I plan to have my 914 in the shop all next week for rust repair and if you are going to re-shoot your targa top I would jump at the chance to get mine in there.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) It appears to have old, black paint on it, so prep work is in order. I have been reading this thread with a lot of interest, as getting the targa top looki right sure would be nice. Maybe send a PM if this might work, either next week or in the near future. Haven't received my mirrors yet, should be here soon (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif) |
