Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Eastwood Versus POR-15

What I did to my Comet 40 years ago doc was to put my own vinyl top on it . I just used the vinyl that I got from a material shop and glued it on. It looked pretty good. I kept it up by using a vinyl wax that looked about like shoe polish. I remember it wasn't all that expensive. I would think the material would hold better now and with the spray on glues it shouldn't be hard to do at all. No it wasn't the thick padded top but in the 60's a lot of them were not padded. I put the top on it because I thought they look good. I had some real ones after that and I think it had to be the worse thing they ever did to a car. They all seemed to rust out after a few years.

Well I am still looking for a solution for my Matador's roof rust problem. I have used Eastwoods product and don't care for it. I have also heard as mentioned that POR-15 can't stand direct sunlight because of the UV rays. I have also been told that using a bed liner coating is not a good option for the low cost simulated  vinyl roof I was thinking of. I thank you all for the input. I barely got 3 replies from the same question on the AMX files. If I didn't go with the bed liner option for the vinyl roof I would need something that would hold up out doors till I got the cash for a real vinyl top. The Matador sits outside. I am back to square one again, but I still need to get the window leaks fixed.
