I spent the weekend refurb'ing my Targa top. The old headliner was so bad it was shedding when I hit a bump.
I stripped the old headliner, sanded off all the residue, and then scotch padded the whole of the inside and outside. I repainted the top, inside and out, re-painted the hardware, and replaced the rubber. I had installed the upper and lower main targa seals around the winshield earlier this week. It came out really well, and I'm happy with the results. On to the pictures:        |

Looks Great! What supplies did you use? Felt? Paint? Glue? How did you prep the top for paint? Thanks!

QUOTE(bandjoey @ Oct 7 2012, 09:19 PM)  Looks Great! What supplies did you use? Felt? Paint? Glue? How did you prep the top for paint? Thanks! thanks! I bought a pre-made headliner from 914Rubber.com (as well as all the rubber seals), and the paint and headliner adhesive I used in the picture below. For the underside of the roof, where all the old glue was, I used an orbital sander with 150 grit, to remove that. for the rest of the roof, I used a medium scotch brite pad (green pad), and lightly went over the whole roof. After I vacuumed the dust off, I used a cotton rag with a little paint thinner on it to clean the remaining residue of the top. After that dried completely I painted it.  |
