Okay Guys and Gals, this is the end all-be all of instructions for
re-finishing the pop-top. It does NOT involve three hundred hours of hand
sanding, fourty coats of hand rubbed two part epoxy paint, or more than eight
hours of work. Get ONE gallon of Sherwin Williams Industrial and Marine
Coatings Industrial Enamel, Pure White(B54 W 101) Wash the top, and let it
dry. Trim off any "hairs" and rough sand with anything, including gravel, or
a cinder block. If the top is not totally buggered, don't even bother. This
stuff was designed to fill rough spots. Apply two rolled on coats of the
above.( use a three inch roller, with the shortest nap you can find. Or, if
you're of the mind to, a Binks 18 gun, or airless sprayer also works
extreamly well.) Let dry two to three hours between coats. Then apply one
final brushed on coat. This product will out last the vehicle, is a
wonderfull semi-gloss white, and is almost bullet-proof. Everything,
including bird droppings, eggs, tree sap, or anything your children (in my
case, grandchildren) can evacuate from their bodies, etc. can be washed or
scraped off w/o hurting the finish. If, somehow, you manage to damage the
coating, just brush on a dab touch-up paint to the area. It will blend right
in. I've used this stuff for over ten years, on three Westys, and will
personally pay for your gallon of paint( 29.95 plus tax) if you don't
absolutly love it. Go on, try it!
