Does anyone in southern California know of a good shop that could retexter a targa top or is there a good do it yourself method out there?

I've been thinking about documenting the process in more detail, but it's basically, sanding the top flat (as if painting it), repairing cracks or chips with proper fiberglass materials and then reshaping/smoothing, thorough cleaning and degreasing, then reshooting surface texture.
I do offer the service, but the cost is in prep work, so the worse off the top is the more work/time it needs. It's not a simple process, regardless. |

I imagine it is a lot of work...seems to be a common theme in "doing it right". Can you let us know what product you used when you got to reshooting? Thanks Paul |
