After 16 years of sitting outside it was faded to an almost dark grayish nasty color.

I used S.E.M "color coat" in Landau Black.

I used their product called Vinyl Prep (a cleaner) and also what they call Sand Free (an adhesion promoter). Both are an aerosol.

I used the same system about six months ago to paint the vinyl top on an old Buick I'm restoring. It has held up great and I had a couple cans left over so I decided to do the old Bronco. Looks like new. Only problem is that the rest of the truck still looks 16 years old, rust and all. LOL

What the heck, how are you gonna post up telling how awesome your top looks now and not post a picture. We wanna see, too!

 

^^ Dido

Im hoping to repaint my whole trunk in the next few months.

 

Sorry guys. LOL I added an album to my profile took me a while to figure out. I'm not as proficient with a computer as I am a rattle can.

That does look better. Did you sand it down at all or just spray the promoter and then paint?

 

No I didnt sand it. I just cleaned it with soap/water, then the SEM cleaner and sprayed on the adhesion promoter before painting.

 

Definately an improvement, it looks good.

 

Thanks for the complements. The paint was a little pricey like $11 a can but it only took two cans to put two coats on with a little left over. Well worth it I think.
