Hi Jerry:

The paint I used was System Three waterborne epoxy. If you are interested in
this very interesting and safe paint, I posted a detailed description and
some photos here"

Graham,

  Thanks for the quick reply. Nice job on the poptop rebuild. What did you
use for paint? Our boats differ in that my poptop has a build-up of 1/2"
x1/2" of fiberglass on the outside edge of the strips that the strips are
screwed into from the top. This ends the need for milling out the inside,
bottom edge of the strips for clearance, also my slider slides on the
gelcoat on the top of the poptop itself.

   Jerry
