Don't paint an acrylic targa top. It's easier for you to get an acrylic targa top as they work for any colors.
You can have the solid top painted. They'd bang off the metal trim and paint it and then put a new metal trim back on. No sure how easy it is to get a new metal trim. But I've see aftermarket rubber trims out there. Or they may try and reuse the metal trim.
If you use vinyl. Maybe take it to a vinyl auto shop to have it done. If you do it yourself, I'd do research on it. But I'd say probably something like car wrap. I'd get the kind that lets you easily squeegee out air bubbles. As some have air channels in the adhesive that lets you squeegee out air bubble instead of having a bubble mess for a newbie.

They've also got car wrap vinyl that doesn't do any paint damage if you later remove it.

They've got all different kinds that are easier to apply than others. The easier to apply kind is usually more expensive. But I'd stick with vinyl car wrap vs. vinyl they put on store windows.
