haven't used it. I did a vinyl top on a 1970 Challenger following a post on this forum (I think). Glued 2 styrene strips to the roof to resemble the overlap strips, and strips at the side & rear base of the roof line. Sprayed the roof with spray adhesive and then matt black. Looks pretty good.

Just put on on a 70 1/2 camaro. Not to hard; just take your time. add thin evergreen stips to the body for the seperation trim. measure out the roof and start with the side pieces first. Lay the tape from the roof first and burnish it the whole way down. trim the excess and measure your top piece . It's really not that bad; looks really good when your done.

i just use masking tape and paint it semi-gloss black

You may want to try the Testors Vinyl Top texture paint. It won't dry up and start peeling off in a few years like masking tape will. I've heard good things about Testors vinyl top system, and it comes in both black and white. Just food for thought.
