Some place I saw an article about painting the sails can't remember what kind of black paint was used it was textured that I remember.....anyone know? I have a new set of vinyl sails but hate the looks of them.

I believe that 3M makes a textured "splatter" satin paint that is pretty 'close' to the look of vinyl. I may have the info on file somewhere but a good paint shop should be able to steer you in the right direction.
This may actually be the same type of splatter paint you would use on a (bare/sanded) 914 targa top as well. |

Or, esp. if you are painting the rest of the car anyway, you could go to body color and also ditch some of the polished aluminum trim. That looks nice if done well. If you're not painting the whole car, however, then getting the sail panels to match the body paint could be difficult.

There is a rattle can paint made (by Duplicolor I think) called truck bed liner. About $10 a can.
I painted the front FG bumper and spoiler and rockers panels on my DE car with it. Does not look bad! Withstands chips better than paint. Get a can and try it on some scrap metal. |

Dale, Where did you get your front spoiler/air dam? Is it still made? Thanks.
