Fiberglass Hardtop Repair



Need to know how to repair a fiberglass hardtop? Lou F. can tell you, "I got a 50 year old removable hardtop with my 1966 MGB. The finish was cracked all over the top. I had to sand it back to the fiberglass, then applied 3 coats of the Rapid Urethane Primer (used 2 cans) sanded and spot filled, then applied 3 more coats of the primer. Final sanded and prepped for the Polaris Silver Metallic. I applied 6 coats of the color letting them flash between coats.
I'm very satisfied with the end result." Lou F., San Jose, CA.
