Been a while since I did a top like this, but Dupont (1300xxx) pre-packaged white was a perfect color. Believe it or not, white is the most difficult color to get right. Too many times I've seen tops done in a pure white, and it just doesn't look right.

Here's a couple trailer fenders I built from glass a few years ago. Wrong color, but will give you an idea of the texture.
Thanks Bud!
