I wanted to canvas the society and ask what materials/method the group uses to add a vinyl top.
I know their were some kits out a while back and I have one in white.
My objective is to add a vinyl top to an upcoming '69 Dodge Super Bee build.
I want to make sure I get the seams/seam width correct, the texture correct (authentic) and the materials used to create the necessary moldings.
I am looking to do the top color in black.

I have seen a mate use masking tape, with the overlap to replicate the seams, then you prime it from a distance, so the paint goes on dry, ( over the tape, it stays there).
sort of like the paint job you don't want. Then painting it black, same method, from a distance, so the first coats go on dry
and crusty, then finally hitting it with a wet coat for some satin, for some sort of shine.
there other ways by masking the line, and primering, to build up the seam line before painting.
experiment on something is the best thing to do mate.

Here is a youtube video using masking tape. I have not tried it myself yet, but looks fairly straight forward www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3AhIWmHdck |
