Paint for black targa top Options

[rosenfe]

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

After cleaning, sprayed mine with a rattle can. Used SEM Landau Black. Came out beautiful! But the plastic was so dry that it soaked up 3 cans of paint!

Sem 39144 is the same trim black in qt liquid form.They also sell "hot rod black" in kits HR010 which would be the "Porsche" of semi gloss black , and its just me, but the least I would do is a red scotch brite pad.

Hey, I suppose these blacks would be appropriate for painting the bumpers too, right or not ? (I know Porsche used a combination of sheen levels, with regards to black on the running gear and trim, etc - and it can be a bit confusing). This would make buying the quart a better value, if so. Not that I’m necessarily building for concours, but details matching originality is nice all the same. So - were the roofs and bumpers the same sheen levels from the factory?

Also, I wonder if SEM’s Landau paint wouldn’t have more UV protection than the other choice(s)?

Yes, I used a red Scotch Brite to scuff, but also Liquid Sandpaper to degloss first.
As for paint, the sheens on both the Wurth and SEM sprays are pretty much the same, though I liked the spray and pattern on the SEM better. I've used the Wurth on the rocker panels and front/rear valences with fine results; never used it on the rubber though imagine it would work and look fine albeit need extra preparation and maybe priming.
Black is pretty good at UV blockage. Neither can specifically mentions UV blocking though the finish of the Wurth does dull over time, but that may be because those panels are so close to the road they get some fine sanding along the way. No experience yet with the SEM as just applied (still awaiting 48 full cure time before putting the top back on).
