In this video I cover how I sanded back my VW T4 high top fibreglass roof to get rid of 20 years of muck & grime, then roller paint and wet sand the roof to a glossy finish. I plan on changing the colour of the van as the white is looking tired and the roof needed some attention to get it looking fresh again. As I was planning on changing the van colour I could have just painted the roof but I wanted to ensure it was as smooth as the day it left the factory so sanded it with an orbital sander with 240 grit paper. Once the roof was smooth I roller paint the fibreglass roof with Rustoleum paint with a 20% mineral spirit mix. I wet sand the roof between 4x coats of rustolerum, building up the layers to ensure the roof would be sealed with a deep shine. After the final coat I wet sand using 1000 then 2000 grit paper and polish which bring out a lovely glossy smooth surface which reflects nicely.
I did this job in the summer as one of the first jobs because the high top needed painting before I could fit the solar panels.
