I will be looking to have my Poptop roof resprayed soon and so am starting to look into quotes.

I can give it to a painters off the van. If I did most of the prep in terms of cleaning, sanding and any repairs what kind of price am I looking at for a spray?

Trying to see if I should rustoleum or have it done pro?

Cheers

Wow this forum is really quiet nowadays. 4 years ago I would have had some comments within a few hours.

Has Facebook killed this place off?

I was thinking of rollering but wasnt sure if it is the same process given fibreglass is usually gell coat etc.

Would I just key the paint and roller?

I helped my dad roller his boat 2 years ago and we prepped it as you would a car body only we used fibre glass filler for cracks and blemishes then 2 coats of marine enamel paint which turned out better than we thought it would as we did it on the side of the river in 2 days in a bit of a rush as he was selling it.
