hey all -
I've seen some painted targa tops that are smooth - how does one go about doing that? I looked at mine and it appears that the texture is part of the gelcoat or whatever the finish is on the targa top.... any 'how to' threads out there on this? td |

wow - I would have thought and thought that I have read to be careful when sanding as to not go too deep. I also would have assumed most put a thin payer of bondo on top to get the best finish. informative thread. thanks.
