I painted the pop top center on my 87 Dove Blue Westy about 5 years ago. I used elastomeric RV roof paint and a 6" foam roller after masking the roof about an inch or so inbound from the roof's edge. I think I got the paint at Camping World. I used white but when I recoat it, I think I will use silver. This site gives you the 411 on elastomeric paint: http://tinyurl.com/yzbrbqm Jeff
