Steve, When I had my nissan truck in 93 I bought a Gem Top canopy, and they painted it to match my truck. I know you wanted to do it yourself, but that may be an option.

Gem Top ??? is that a Fiber Glass top ?
If so.. you prep and paint it as you would any fiber glass panel or car...

I also like to add a flex agent to help minamize
