Ciao rigazzi,
So, I bought a new top for my Giardineira. The old one was leaking throught the seams. However, I'm pretty sure it can be salvaged. After I clean & repair it, I would like to either paint it or dye it....but I've never painted or dyed a rag top before.
Does anyone have any experience it painting or dying the top? And of course, all the usual questions you would expect from somebody inexperienced at such work. Such as what kind of paint? How do you prep the material? etc...including all the questions I don't know what to ask because I don't know what I'm doing!
Any and all advice is welcome.
My plan, btw, is to turn my black soft top into the Italian flag - green, white and red. So I'm thinking giving the top a good cleaning and then painting over the black would be easiest...but what do I know...
Grazie,
Bud
