Default Plasti Dip Convertible Top

On the subject of plasti-dip, has anyone here been brave enough to try this yet? I'm certainly not, but if anyone has one in poor condition there wouldn't be much to lose

Dipped convertible top, air box, block off plates, and some miscellaneous - Page 3
I'd say folding the top would start peeling the dip.

Oh you're probably right, hence why I'd be unwilling to try it on a top that wasn't already ruined. Surprisingly the Miata guy on that link seemed pretty happy with it though.

When the rear window starts to tear out, fix that, do this to the top and SELL IT QUICK!

That costs more than $5 which surprises me, Miata guys are funny people, if it costs more than $5 they tend to take a pass.

Bahahaha! You're lucky I wasn't drinking anything or you'd owe me a keyboard and monitor. That post should have come with a disclaimer

Unless its a $35,000 dollar pontoon boat.. then we're all up in it .. and on it most weekends weather allows..

Hey I just noticed.. every time that avatar completes a stroke.. that's at least 15 cents I just made.. 24/7.. How much are those long .. um.. what are they called "cigar" boats?

Oh.. I should have specified.. "American" pontoon boat.. You Canadians really need to try to catch up. Do you even get a trailer with one of those?

This is what we call a Pontoon boat down here in trailer court land.. but I must warn you.. when you purchase it at the boat show.. you do have to wait for them to get it back and detail it out for you..
