Top repair

I'm looking for advice on the best way to fix small cracks in my Blazer top with out messing up the texture? How do you re-texture if needed? What material did the factory use on these tops? Any guidence would be great

Thanks,

Re: Top repair

i just did my top, textured it with some stuff i got from Walker Auto parts designed for re-texturing rocker panels, comes in black or white, worked really well, takes factory paint over it, about $15 a can, i'll get the name of it when i get home.

Re: Top repair

Twisted 78,
Thanks for the links. I have a very clean top just some hair line cracks I was thinking cleaning them out and using a two part expoxy to fill them?
I know i dont want to loose the factory textured finish. That finish would be hard to reproduce (its kinda like drywall texture). If I ever get my camera back from my Kid I will get a coulpe pictures and post for quick review.

Thanks,

Corsair
