I'd like to bump this topic back up because i need to repaint my hardtop as well. I don't want to sound really cheap here, but I was considering just rattle-canning it with Rustoleum this time around.
I just bought this rig and there is rust issues in the drip rail that I will attempt to resolve to some extent. I've wire wheeled out the sealer and exposed the rust etc. I picked up some stuff to neutralize the rust and some quality body seam filler to re-caulk it all with. The metal does not look good enough to try filling with weld. I thought I'd just give it a good try at getting it sealed and painted to get through the winter with.
My rig is a '73 in the stock maroon and white paint scheme, but it does have black fender flares. How well do you guys think Rustoleum gloss white would look? Or should I go with a black to cover the imperfections better?
What was the stock color that was used? Was it a gloss??
Thanks for any input
