Hello All,
I am planning on restoring my targa top. When someone painted my car prior to me buying it they went ahead and painted the targa top with the same paint as the body. I would like to bring it back to that flat black paint as it was originally. Any suggestions as to where I can get the paint to do a home job? Thanks ED (IMG:style_emoticons/default/help.gif) |

3M rock guard will get close to the original texture, but if you haven't used it buy 2 cans. One to practice and learn with. It can vary greatly depending on how close you are to the surface, how long you let it set between coats etc.
As for the black, go to your local paint supplier and get a pint of single stage satin black. I use Spies Heckers " Rallyeblack " It is the correct color for rally stripes on muscle cars. One more option that looks good IMO is to take it to a spray on bedliner shop. Panel Billy just did this to his. There is a thread somewhere close by |
