I told them it should be painted like it was dipped in a vat of paint...they said if I want the vinyl back on the sail panels they want to put sealer on them b/c the paint will peel off from the vinyl glue.

I thought the whole think got painted...am I wrong?

Yup. BS. And would make me wonder if this guy knows what he's talking about with anything.

Technically, the cars that came with vinyl didn't get painted across the targa bar. But he doesn't know that unless he's a hardcore 914 guy.

Yep . . .

Across the top of the targa bar of my 73 was essentially primer; the Phoenix Red that was there was basically overspray from when they did the underside of the bar and the insides of the sail panels. As I say - the outsides of the sails and the top of the bar - where all the vinyl went - were mostly primer with some L32K dusted on.
