Check w/AutoZone and Advance & lastly, with an auto paint store. Buy
(the color you choose) a can of Topper. Comes in a can the shape/size of a
can of wax. Spreads with a sponge, included. Does a nice, waterproof job &
looks like factory. Do 2 coats.
If you are determined to paint it, I've used acrylic enamel which does a
quickie, shiny job. Dunno about its lasting--this was just to get junkers
through an auction (Oops, told on myself! NOT proud of it at all!!!) s

You might want to touch base with either the dealer or a good detailing
shop. Most of the home repairs to softtops look like a shade tree job.
And any paint begins to flake and deteriorate quickly.
