Well, I was bored yesterday so i decided to paint the vinyl top on my Riv. I cleaned and prepped the top and masked everything off and used flat black vinyl paint. Turned out pretty good. I even tested an area with armor all and it shined right up. I plan on getting a repaint and new top sometime next summer, so i'm trying to decide if i want a stock color top or black. What do you guys think? Before: After:
I shopped the bumper...i actually like it all smooth like that. I'd just have to figure out how to fill the gas tank.
I kind of the the color combo you already had better. But it does look good. What color repaint are you planning?
I'm suprised so many people seem to prefer the tan to the black. I personally love the black. I will agree that the tan makes it look more "classy" but I think the black makes it look more like a muscle car, which is what i prefer. The whitewalls defintely go better with a tan top though. It's too bad no one makes a 275 series whitewall.
I had a 73 Olds 88 Convertible for 26 years. When I bought it, it had a light tan colored top. Along the way, I changed to dark brown top to match the interior. The darker top was easier to keep looking clean.
