Yes, it can be painted. I've got some files that talks about the process. If you'd like a copy, PM me your e-mail address.

If it were me I would look for a solid top and have it painted, That way you still have the glass top and the solid top would have the head liner.

Also, a painted glass top has to lower the resale value of the Car. Painting a glass top is so "backyard".

Do what I am planning this summer, vinyl wrap my old cracked worn top in carbon fiber wrap.. But I also have a black vette, I think it will look cool. good luck.
