re-texture the top

I am in the process of repairing my top, The previous owner had a dumb luggage rack deal on there that I took off and fiberglassed all the holes, then filled and sanded the body filler.

I want to re-texture the top again on the cheap. I plan on using rustoleum industrial white either sprayed or rolled on. Not sure what way im gonna go yet.

Re: re-texture the top

Here's post on just repainting.

As far as retexturing,I used a Schutz gun ,or underbody coating gun to replicate the look of the top.

Re: re-texture the top

I just did mine also following BobbyK's thread. I used a stone texture spray paint that was supposed to be great on fiberglass and plastic. Then I used the marine topcoat as well. Came out good. Did you roll or spray on?
