Re: hard top scratch question?
Okay, I'll try a helpful response. I think the top's not actually paint
as you say. Actually, I think it's a gel-coat. I'd try two routes. Check
with a body shop and see if they do gel-coat touch ups. Or, stop by a
marine shop and see what they think. I might be wrong about the gel-coat
but these two routes will get you someone who can hook you up. My guess is
that this is something you'd be better off letting a professional touch up
for ya.
Your top's fiberglass so you don't have to worry about "protecting" it
like a scratch which bares metal to rust. Depending on where the scratch is
and how bad it is will tell you if you need to bother with it, i.e. Scratch
vs. gouge vs. gash & flat panel vs. stressed corner, etc.
Hope this helps to keep it looking good. You really ought to take that
thing out and get it so dirty you need a garden hose to clean it though:)
Regards,
Jim
