    Has anyone spray rhino liner on their top to replicate a vinyl top.
    Currently my top is white I’m thinking about paint the entire car trumphet gold poly, I’m just thinking way outside the box. Any thoughts would be appreciated (good or bad)
    I see type correction changed my lining to long in the title

    I had a 67 Impala when I was 20 that had a painted on vinyl top. Had two "seams" glued to the roof and a paint that looked like vinyl painted on. If you didnt know it, it looked like a real vinyl top. Never saw that before or since though

    3M makes a rocker panel coating.... I saw a vinyl top car at a DQ meet. Owner used the 3m RPC then painted it to his color of choice black of a sort... Looked Good..

    Hi there, yes I did this on my turbo car, see below. It worked great, I used rock guard with a gloss black paint to match the hood scoop:

    yes my car was rust free except under the old vinyl there were a small rust spot that kept being a challenge to fix. This worked perfect and 4 years later there is no bubbling.

    My car isn’t a vinyl top but I wanted it black, but liked the grained look vinyl and wanted to know if anyone had used bed liner to get the look without the issues of a vinyl top
