Stuart, the Westy pop-tops were never painted by anyone, not originally anyways.  They’re Fibreglass and therefore the colour was in the Gel Coat.  So…..if painting it the colour cannot be matched exactly with the body colour, it’s just close.  So……if you’re going to paint it, you have some choices, use the body colour or a distinctive "other” colour, up to you !
