John,
This does not address your request but just passing on a consideration.
I have a Titian Red van that I will be modifying the pop top center.
Paint it a very reflective white, but only the top so the sides of the top
remain the same color as the van. It's for summer use. I live in Utah
and the sun needs to be dealt with in this region.
