Paint for pop-top

Post by peteandnero »

Hi,
I'm thinking of going down the Rustoleum roller path to paint my Westfalia but wondered about the pop-top. It's a but scruffy and could do with a coat, so what paint should I use on it as it seems to be a rough finish rather than the smooth gelcoat type gloss.
Any suggestions would be great.
atb,
pete

I did our fibre glass roof section with Rustoleum. Clean it well first then roll it.

Second that for Rustoleum. Rubbed down well with wet 'n' dry then roll on. I managed 3 coats and am very pleased with the finish, not high gloss but still a very good surface.
