Don't do any painting, or rubbing-----

Try this first-----

Go to a marine ships store, ( Boat US and/or West marine, which both
have web sites ) and pick up a quart of Pentrol---

Simple wipe a coat on the pop-top with a rag-----your done.

It'll remove all of the oxidation----

It most likely will require a second coat in about 2--3 weeks, but will
last a long time---probably the whole summer---

Simple solution---looks real good---shines like new---

Check out my webpage--and my 87---same color as your's----after I did
the roof---

Later,

Terry

Hello all,
Like many others I see out there, the roof of my 88 Westy is faded. I'd
like to paint it, and I'm looking for tips:
-First, I'm assuming there's no way to restore the current paint, as you
might with the body by using a rubbing compound. Am I correct?
-What kind of paint would I use?
-Any particular tips on prep work?
-What should I treat the finished paint with to keep it from fading?
Any other tips from anybody who has done this project would be greatly
appreciated. My paint color, by the way, is Titian metallic red.
Tim T.
