Paint, or repair fiberglass top

[HarrisonTX]

I had been looking for a fiberglass top with solid side glass for a while. I saw a local one, and jumped on it.


Its got a few imperfections in the fiberglass..

Should I just spray it black, or fix the imperfections? If I repair the imperfections, I don't know how I could get the textured finish back.

If i spray it black, could I get away with a rattle can job?

I have seen one sprayed with bedliner on ck5, looked factory with the texture

im going to jump on this. Mine has the fiberglass hair seperating. do you think i can just sand and reseal and paint it?

I sanded mine smooth on my 79 and filled the seams. Sure looked nice when it was done and repainted white to match the two-tone.
