Default Targa Refinish

Some years ago there was information on the CF about someone who refinished clear Targa Tops, and I believe that it was someone in the South. Tried to find a thread to no avail.

Does anyone have a clue?

There is a do it yourself thread that I‘m aware of, but it’s not the way I want to go.
Any lead will be appreciated. GRT

I have a few Word files on refinishing the glass top - both painting it a solid color and refinishing the glass portion. If you'd like a copy of the files (some are too large to make as an attachment here on the forum), just PM me your e-mail address.

West Coast Corvette does a refurbish targa top exchange for $795.95 ($500 refundable core charge) plus shipping......and I don't know what the shipping cost is......probably not cheap.

New weatherstrip, reconditioned frame and hardware, new OE quality lens.

Ah, just noticed you are in Florida, so maybe East Coast Corvette would be more appropriate.
