Paint for black targa top Options

[rosenfe]

I plant to clean top,not sand. Any recommendations for spray paint choice in black

@StarBear I suggest a stronger detergent than dish soap. Diluted Simple Green or Purple Power is going to clean better, tri sodium phosphate is really good too. Scrub with a soft bristle brush and rinse with clean water, at least twice. I used a commercial auto body cleaning solvent like Prep Sol or Klix 88 after that. Alcohol won’t cut wax and silicones good enough. I would use the scuff pads that are finer than the 3m red, I think they are gray.

I recently spoke with the owner of the car I used the spray can VHT satin black on, and he said it still looks good.

Thanks! Nervous about doing this, but at least a good cleaning is worthwhile.
Would a quart of Prep-Sol be enough? So far, have seen it only in gallons.
