Question
I am considering painting my convertible top from white to black.Can this be done?

Answer
Hi Debbie,

Yes, that should work. First you need to find a good quality vinyl paint. I would recommend using either PPG's SC Vinyl and Leather die or I have used SEM Aerosol Color Coats to paint vinyl and it adheres and holds up very good. Listed is a link to a place that sells SEM with a color chart you can look at:
