Best way to refinish a targa top?, looking for advice Options

[KaptKaos]

Hello,

My targa top looks like hell. I'd like to refinish it. I'd like to get rid of the pebbled finish and have it smooth, but not sure of the best way to make that happen.

Looking for advice? What has worked for you?

FYI - I did the truck bed liner stuff a few years ago, and the results didn't last.

TIA

I painted mine White to better reflect the hot Florida Sun.
I also removed the sails.

Take a DA and just keep sanding until you get the rough texture smooth. Make sure you get it as smooth as possible, then I sprayed an epoxy primer and then applied the actual paint.

It is not perfect but it does look good, like anything else the amount of work you do getting the top smooth before applying the primer and paint will pay off in the finish work. I never got too far into the fiberglass, it was not and issue.

The white really does a nice job of reflecting the heat.

Be sure and wear a respirator/filter of some kind when you do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
