white_mr2     $ 0.00 I was going for the same thing. I think paint on glass would scratch really easy. I was thinking about covering the t-tops in vinyl. Not sure if that would work though.

ShackC     $ 0.00 Someone might be able to use a sand blaster, or glass etching compound to give the paint something to adhere to alot better. I agree with the vinyl though, if you can find the colour. Last edited by ShackC; 01-21-2011 at 12:04 PM.

white_mr2     $ 0.00 I think the vinyl cover will work but I don't know anyone that has it or does that kind of stuff.

ShackC     $ 0.00 That Silver in your avatar looks like you should be able to find the vinyl.

Bmer89     $ 0.00 There was paint on my tops when I bought the car. I stripped it off and bought a set of shades... But if you're dead set on painting them, all you need is a rattle can of enamel paint. Vinyl is a good idea too.

traintech86     $ 0.00 I can't say I would like how painted T-Tops would look. Are you trying to avoid sunlight or do you want it to look more like a hard top?I have never worked with vinyl but it seems like a good option that's reversable.

white_mr2     $ 0.00 I have never worked with pieces of vinyl that big either. It just looks like a better option than paint. I'd like to make my 2 look like a hard top.

white_mr2     $ 0.00 A Guy on another site wrapped almost his whole car in matte black vinyl. Looks great!

RePete     $ 0.00 Vinyl is a good idea, a bit pricey but the quality is good and it's removeable. I believe this dude used paint though.

white_mr2     $ 0.00 I would probably need alot of vinyl. I'm sure I would screw it up.

traintech86     $ 0.00 It does look pretty slick... but i like the glass too. I need to find an easy way to have both hah Reply With Quote 01-21-2011, 09:06 PM #15 mr3 View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Blog Entries unskilled Join Date Jun 2008 Location Plymouth Mtg, Pa Posts 2,677 Thanks  28 Thanks  122 Thanked in111 Posts Total Contributions For
mr3     $ 0.00 2 sets of t-tops. Reply With Quote 01-21-2011, 09:09 PM #16 RePete View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Blog Entries Cage Fighter Join Date Feb 2005 Posts 6,611 Thanks  0 Thanks  600 Thanked in555 Posts Total Contributions For
RePete     $ 0.00 ^ That's genius! Such a simple solution that may have slipped our minds.

Covering over the Ts is a good idea I think, it's more dramatic when you remove them for a sunny day!

mr3     $ 0.00 Haha. I parted out an 88 and had a spare set. The weather stripping was shot on them so I just got some cheap spray primer and paint and painted them. I was just doing it to see if it would stick. The primer laid very nice. I just used the cheap spray can primer. It sprayed on nice and looked decent. Then I took some color and sprayed. I rushed through it and never attempted to clear it but it looked good but it rubbed off because it was poorly executed.

white_mr2     $ 0.00 I'm going to try vinyl and if that doesn't work I'll try paint.

traintech86     $ 0.00 Yeah i guess a second set of tops would work. I had 2 before but not for that reason. I am pretty interested in this now. Hopefully someone pulls it off and posts.
