Repainting Blazer Top

I repainted my top recently and just want to post a few pic's.

First the top was removed and stripped of it's glass,rear hatch and all gaskets and interior lights.


With it stripped I then washed it with a TSP(TriSodium Phosphate) solution.It was a little grimey after spending some time resideing up in the rafters of my garage.


You can see the difference just the wash made here.


I went to my local boat shop and bought some Gloss White Enamel designed for fiberglass boat decks.After thinning it with the proper thinner I brushed it on.
The coverage was a little thin and I ended up applying two coats to the top.But working in the shade enabled me to take my time and allow the paint to blend nicely with no brush marks.


Here it is back on the Blazer.Now a nice Gloss white.






I did a bunch more to the top while repainting.
ALL the pic's I took during the process can be seen HERE
