Post by Bigjoey0 »

Hi fellows

Got a westy and want to repaint the roof. Fibreglass roof. What paint would you recommend? Need something with flex. Cheers

Mine was never painted. Not necessary either if it's a pop top. Just clean it. A sponge and washing up liquid and it comes up as good as new!

If you really want to piant your fibreglass roof perhaps you should use an use an etch primer first. That is what I had to do when spraying my fibreglass Kit Car.

I used rustoleum white on my fibreglass roof 2 1/2 years ago and it's still there. No peeling or cracking :ok
