Paint hardtop

Why do you want to paint it? Is the gelcoat worn out or faded? If faded you can buff it like new again. If worn out , take the hardtop off and take it to a panel shop, let then spray it with two pack paint , stays polished longer than gelcoat, they will be able to colour match .
 
I had my hardtop (95 208) redone in a uv white dura liner. I like it...I would post a pic but boats under cover till spring.
