On my Toyota mr2, there was some paint missing on the targa roof. The only way to recover it was to respray the whole t-roof (only the trim above the window). This is how I did it, and the result is perfect!
- Clean your roof completely
- protect and cover everything you don’t want to paint (very important)
- Sand to the bare metal (400 wet) -> Wet is important to avoid scratches
- Put 3 thin layers of primer -> maybe it’s a good idea to gently sand it with 400 wet to avoid dust before painting
- Paint/Spray with 3 to 4 thin layers of black mat.
- Put 2 or 3 thin layers of clear varnish to protect the paint.
- Clean rest of glue with ispopropanol
Enjoy the result. Paint in good environment and good temperatures to avoid cracks, dust or the paint not to stick on the metal.
This is the picture log of the whole painting:
