Default Just had Targa top refinished!

Finally found someone to refinish my Targa top, it was nasty looking. The body shop sand it down smooth , and spray clearcoat on it. Got it this morning and it looks great. I am very happy!

I need my top redone. Can you post or PM me what you paid?

Also please confirm it was the "clear" lexan panel.

Thanks and glad you got good results. Exciting to hear.

If you have a clear lexan top do a search as someone wrote in detail a DIY to bring it back to life.

Havent had time to take a picture will post one tomorrow. My top is the smoked lexan. I saw the process on several threads, one polished his after sanding it, the other sprayed clear coat. I went to a body shop and explained what i wanted, he said he had never done it before, but he had a car in the booth about to get clear coated so did it for me yesterday ( 1 day) for $225.00. It looks brand new.

The DIY refinish is what I did and saved $200.00 The refinish is not that bad to do. It does take a while to do, but the savings are worth it to me. Check my photo album to see the before and after.
