Dave, The top is made of fiberglass, and after a few years the sun has a tendancy to dry ot the fiberglass resins, and gel coat. My suggestion is to sand down the top with no less than 180 dry paper, prime with a high fill primer, (Sherwin Williams ultra fill is real good) and sand again with no less than 360 dry paper. I like, and have used for at least 15 years, PPG Deltron ( modified acrylic enamel urethane ) It drys fast, and is very durable. I have been using it on Mack Trucks, and especially the hoods, being fiberglass, seem to hold up very well with a minium of maintenence. Good Luck, Terry 85 GL |
