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

The only difference is that I shall have a professional upholstery or body shop do the work for me.

My wife and I have been to your country, to Oslo, Vossevangen (in November lots of snow and snow sheds), and Bergen. Been in the neighborhood many times, because I had an Aunt and Uncle in Malmo, Sweden, and a friend across the harbor, in Copenhagen.

Your English is much better than my Norwegian. I find that your language is much closer related to German, than are the other Scandinavian languages.
