[QUOTE="spacebiscuit, post: 626066, member: 23198"] Hi, Just wondering if anyone has painted a westfalia fibreglass pop-top? There was a recent article in Volksworld detailing restoration steps,before apply the top coat it said to use a textured stone chip paint. I was under the impression that the finish was smooth rather than textured, or have I just seen too many restored pop-tops done in this way? The guide also fails to give any details of the top coat used, I have painted the rear luggage section using a compressor with an off-white yacht paint, but it was not a gloss. The finish was great but this time around I want to try the gloss finish. Is this harder to achieve? Any tips welcome - thanks. [/QUOTE]
