i've seen the really nice painted ones on some cars and i've seen the black ones...
i dont know what is with mine but it isn't smooth like paint to the touch. it has a weird kind of texture to it...what gives? can anyone tell me what they are made out of...where to get one resurfaced or what the deal is? i mean i can be content if it just needs something like a spit shine if i just need to hit it with some type of restoration magic compound let me know |

They should be black and textured. If it's smooth and painted, it's because someone did it.
I think there is a thread in the classics area about it, but I believe I've read it's just sand/fill/sand/fill/sand/fill until it's smooth and then prime and paint. I keep mine original because I know I'll scratch the paint off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

The tops are made out of fibreglass. And as posted above, they should be black and textured. I believe there are a few threads around on how to polish it up. I think Mothers Back to Black works pretty well.

back to black, then wash the car like a day later, and the top looks good (otherwise its too glossy). Shoe polish also works for the top and sails
they are (or should be if unmolested) black and textured, and its like some sort of plastic fiberglass. |
