Factory Hardtop Restoration

Dug in deeper on the hard top restoration for my TR. I've owned this top for about 20 years. When I bought it originally, my uncle, father and I slapped some matching lacquer on it and I used it. Weather took its toll however and it eventually looked horrible.

Today was finally a day to lay the paint. I shot Nason 2k primer on the original white paint (prepped with 220). Over the top went Dupont ChromaBase basecoat, matched by the Dupont computer. Finally, I shot Nason clearcoat over the basecoat for a nice shine.

I'm leaving it to cure for 3 days before I move it or touch it. That should ensure a long lasting shine.
