I love it. My son just got his first car an wants to paint the vinyl top black. I want to help him make it look good. An your video was awesome. The only question I have is, has it cracked at all?
@newtouchauto11 ай бұрын
To my knowledge no but the reason I used the product in the video is because it doesn’t have a gloss coating. That way there’s nothing to worry about with cracking paint.

@@newtouchauto Thanks for the swift reply. Ohh! I got it - thought it must have been some kind of special paint spray. I have a beige/light brown top starting to look shabby and looking for a way to make it dark brown. I think I'll go with some dye products like I found in another YT from UK.
@newtouchauto3 ай бұрын
@@my5cents4u you’re welcome and yes dye products are better as long as they’re for outdoor use as well. The thing about painting something like this top would be not adding gloss, that’s when you’ll experience cracked paint and failure.

Can a black soft top be painted tan? And if so, how well does it hold up?
@newtouchauto7 ай бұрын
Yes it can be done, you’ll need to base coat it first with grey or white. Then you can apply the tan coats. Fabric spray will be the best option or have it dyed to your preference

If this was a gloss or acrylic paint finish then you’d be correct, with this satin paint finish no cracking will occur.

I tried this method with the shoe shine liquid paint about 2years ago to try and save money and out-smart the unknown and it was a very bad decision cuz with the texas heat & sun it only took a few summer months before most of the black color on my rag top totally faded really really bad and looked greyish-white and looked alot worst than before , worst mistake ever ! Im not sure what chemicals are in liquid shoe paint but I should have know that most shoes are not made from the same materials as rag tops ! lol.. what in the world was I thinking ! lol... I'm most likely gonna try this method here in this video here since it simply makes way more sense than the stupidity I did in the past ! lol...
