So I have this extra top that I was going to make a poor mans Saratoga top. After coming back to my senses I was going to sand it own and paint it to match. It had already been painted by the PO. I have always like the look of the vinyl sail panels and I thought the paint top may look odd.
I was at a car show this summer and saw a car with the carbon fiber wrapped top and it looked like a good mix of smooth and texture. Here is how it went. The before Sanded and Primed carbon fiber wrap finished Even fit well into the groove Not bad For $25 bucks and a lot of elbow grease. Plus I still have my original top that is still in great shape. |
