Super humbled today by the TOTM nomination, thanks Pete. Hadn't taken the time to take any good outside pics since we were still working...but considering the nom, I snapped a couple this afternoon after work. The wipers aren't on yet because Eric wants to buff the cowl some more.

Looks amazing! Keep up with the photos and info about the fiberglass top as I will be going through this process.

I can't wait to get mine on the road

We considered several options for retexturing the top. Zolatone was a choice that's been presented on here that I like a lot. It's a relatively expensive proposition, unless you take it to a shop that already has the capability. It has a special gun set up. warbucket was the first that I saw use Upol's Raptor Liner and I thought his turned out great. Upol also makes another product very similar to Raptor Liner that's called Gravitex. It's marketed as stone chip vs. Raptor Liner which is obviously a bed liner. Gravitex is what we ended up going with. It comes with a stutz gun (like Raptor Liner) to shoot it, but they say you can shoot it with a gravity gun. You can vary the texture a bit by adjusting the pressure. We really just tried to replicate what we had. I thought Eric described it well when he said it was a little bit rougher than an orange.

The rep recommended epoxy primer first which was allowed to cure for over 24hrs.
