Does anyone have any experiance with painting vinyl? my car will be a different color and i don't have the time to do a different top before this show i'm going to. my question is would i be able to vinyl paint the top i have now? or with the paint crack when the top is folded down?

 

I've used it before on some interior pieces.

It didn't like being flexed, and craked/flaked. maybe I did it wrong though

 

i called up this place called vinylpro, the guy was saying something about how he has a certain product called surecoat that apparently bonds to the vinyl and he says if applied properly it won't crack. but i'm unsure, thats 50 dollars out of my pocket for a top i'll be replacing next month anyways

 

nope, wheels i have special idea for them, a very very costly idea, but i think if i can pull it off it will look very dope. top i want to do a darker tan color almost like oak. carlton do you know the color of the car yet?

 

caddy color?

 

Quick fix = Keep the top down lol!
But, I have a buddy who paints cars, who told me about this paint that you can paint on a plastic bag and bent it every which way and it wont crack. Not sure if it applies to vinyl, but ill ask and get back to you.

EDIT: if this is just a quick/cheap cover up type job what im talking about is probably not going to work then

 

From what ive seen with miata owners B, that it doesnt really work that well, maybe 1-2 top usage before it flakes.

 

I has a couple tricks up my sleeve.

You can try a dye.

Or you can use a high quality plastic paint meant for lexan that flexes and bonds spectacularly.

What color are you doing, black?

 

i think he is going for a dark tan

 

Well, there's a shit ton of colors
