I've no plans to make these. JB makes hard tops round here, and some damn fine ones at that!

But that would involve your mould and JB's fittings!

On a side note, why is my 1k satin black drying to a beautiful gloss finish? Too cold?

Possibly but unlikely. Satin does have a hint of gloss to it though.
Are you putting it on thick?

Not particularly, this is definitely a high gloss finish though, I'm thinking I've been supplied with an incorrectly labelled tin...wonder if Macc Paints will be open today, I'll give them a ring. You need anything while I'm there?Possibly but unlikely. Satin does have a hint of gloss to it though. Are you putting it on thick?

I have but I've lost them somewhere. Must've stashed them away with my 200 quid manifold.

Just to update this. I lacquered it. The inside looked quite tacky done in gloss so I tried matt. Still looked gash so I vinyl wrapped it in that velvet-vinyl. Looks loads better! Side seals, front / rear d-profile rubber is on, side edging trim is on. The whole thing lacquered and sealed up comes in at 4.1kg. My fibreglass JB one comes in at 10.4kg so its a good saving.

Flocking was 80 quid. The furry vinyl was 50 quid. Same result really.

Do you do this sort of thing for a living?
I couldn't even comprehend being this good at it. i'd love to try but wouldn't know where to begin.
