Top restoration-Renovo

JamesBondSilverJamesBondSilver

 I had enough of my faded top,it turned purple! It was OK but I imagined what my car would look like with a BLUE top!lol

 This top is the one that is included with Beck speedsters,and was once a nice navy blue. Here is the products which I scored from    www.convertibletoprenew.com 

 I looked around and they had the best price for product & shipping!

 Here is what I bought and used.

 You just have to follow the directions,and Bob at convertibletoprenew unexpectedly threw in some extras,which was very cool,it consisted of a 3"paintbrush/3 lint free towels/and a hand scrubber to clean the top with. The instructions that come with it are very concise & clear,and here are some pictures of the process..

    The "purple" top

 

 Here is tghe taping up,I thought I wuold need just a little bit of tape..

 

 Here is the 1st coat

 

  Here is the 2nd coat,if you noticed,the car is totally covered with newspaper,since I discovered that it is very hard to remove from the paint if it splashes and it WILL,I found little specks EVERYWHERE,and it was a PITA to remove,so follow my advice and REALLY paper it up WELL,you will thank me later,this stuff is like paint overspray,and almost as hard to remove! I also got a couple small specks on the seats,and some I have not yet been able to remove,so be careful the brush will splatter the dye all over.     

 

 Here is the 3rd and last coat just after application

 

And finally,the finished product;

   I forgot to mention the 4 bottles are;

1. Deep cleaner,this prepares it for the dying process,you simply crub it in and hose it off

2. The dye,there is enough to easily do a faded top and have enough for another coat or 2 for touch ups,if needed.

3. Sealer,this helps seal the top/waterproff it again,simply brush on,like the dye.

4. Another cleaner,used for maintenance

  I think you will agree,the results are great and it was well worth the $160-ish bucks I spent,vs. a new top!
