I have done searched both here and on the Bird Board without finding much (except on the Bird they are pretty much all cult members of some guy named Tom in NJ who restores tops for a business). I want to do mine myself. 914 targa tops are simpler than 911.
Anyone have a suggestion on paint brand and color and additive to get the pebble finish correct? |

IIRC Pat G. said to use Wurth body shutz for the texture over a smooth top taken down to FG & reprimed, then paint with a satin black. There are probably some hits in O&H on that, but IIRC it's buried with a topic on other resto issues.
BTW - the shutz was also the texture for rockers & valances restos. McMark, Hans L. (914-6/GT with shop in Camarillo & 914-6 #2), ScottyB, etc. would be other sources for what they use to do for "as per factory finish" restos of the tops. |
