Guest Mustang3.8 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hey, y'all. Has anyone used a viynal roof kit? How is it to install? I'm thinking of using one on my '68 Bullitt Charger build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 It a big piece of black masking tape, perhaps some kind of gaffers tape. I just used some evergreen plastic for the mouldings and the stitching seam and just working it on kind of like you would a big piece of BMF.

crazyjim Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Glue strips of Evergreen for the overlap strips and mouldings. Mask the body and spray the roof with spray adhesive from a distance. Let dry and shoot with semi gloss black. Someone posted this procedures several months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FujimiLover Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've once used an old black T-shirt as a headliner, could also be used as convertible top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasman Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Model Master makes a viynal roof paint that works better then anything else i've used. its a two part system and you do is spray it. don't have to worry about it "Lifted" up over time, you just need to remember to mask over everything that you don't want to look like a viynal top (Like window moldings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It originally came in black or white but they may have added more colors. With practice you can adjust the size of the pattern by changing the spraying distance from the object. Here's a 1/18 GMP Fairlane I did a few years ago. Tom Edited December 19, 2012 by AzTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
