Repainted my Blazer's top(PIC'S) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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

Very nice job! The top turned out great.

Is the paint normally brushed on or can iot be sprayed?

My Blazer definitely needs to spend some quality time with you and your skills!

Jim,the paint can be sprayed,brushed or rolled on.
The variable is the thinner you use.The manafacturer of the paint spec's out different types of thinner's depending on how it's applied.

Thanks for the comments guys!
