Re: Hard Sided Pop Top
So I have looked through the wikki and found some interesting threads about repairs and painting a tin top with rustoleum. Any advice on using rustoleum on a fibre glass roof? is it flexible enough?
Cheers

Hard Sided Pop Top
Hi all
I have a Holdsworth Villa 3 and the top of the pop top is cracking and showing signs of wear. I want to make sure this stays water tight, is there anything that I can paint it with?
