Anyone ever do this? I am interested as my vinyl is peeling off and looks terrible. I've seen some that have been painted and I like it a lot.

Painting E30 hardtop

yup huge pita.
take the rear window seal out
take the rails off.
strip the top material off
sand all the glue off
us filler to fill the 1000s of tiny holes. the top is also wavy so you will need to smooth out all the highs and lows. otherwise when you paint it, it will look terrible.
then primer and paint. leave all the rubber attached and wedge in a rope to old it away from the fiberglass.
the whole job should take about 30 hours.

i kind of like painted hard tops if they are done well. matte black, gloss black, or the body color are best.
personally, i like the body color.
