Posted by: whitey Jan 28 2008, 12:47 PM
What is the procedure for refinishing the targa top to its original texture/color? I have to do some crack repair and the entire top needs to recoated/painted. Is there some type of paint or is there a gun/nozzle that can apply the texture?
Thanks, Dave

There are several threads on refinishing and results.
For the DIY options and if the top is faded and not too bad shape....
I used this herculiner TOP COAT applied with a foam roller.
It is not the liner material, just the top coat used to re-color their liner when it gets faded. So far (5 mo's) it holding up and is cheap and easy.

(That one bottle is enough to re-coat it 4-5 times)
